It was the Eastwood gas mig pictured below. It probably just needs adjustments, but good luck finding someone willing to work on it. Super happy with the Hobart 140 and if it starts being weird, I know I can have it serviced.

Yay! Definitely do it, but be prepared for copious amounts of swearing. I think I’m more excited about your GMC project than I am about my own junk.

I’m honestly embarrassed at the state of it, but I am looking forward to you fixing it

But, those are like $8, I can get the others for $3 and have a more fun welding experience
