Nice Cebora 180 on here £523 inc vat and delivery. How much are you thinking of spending?

Knowing Conrod...

... I'd say about 50p, a box of 200 and a couple of brekkies!

Ignore anything by SIP, the feed mechanism sucks. Mines been back twice.

Cebora are expensive when they go wrong and boy do they go wrong......

Kempi is one of the better names, might be a tad more expensive than sealy/sip ect but worth it

I know 2 people with cebora machines who have never had problems but then you might know someone with a migatronic or miller who have had trouble. None of them are cheap when they break. They do use a lot of common components when you look inside them. If you can buy the parts and fit them yourself they are cheaper to maintain. I have an Erfi 170 that I've been using for 8 years now and I've just fitted a new tip. That's the second one.. Screwfix have a 180 in by Ferm

Looks like it has euro torch, spot weld timer and all the trimmings. Syd, if it's German it's more likely to be a BMW or Merc wiper motor . Look inside a few others and you'll most likely find one like it.
