What's wrong with your stand, I didn't see any shopping carts supporting your kegs your cool. Function is number one priority.
Rain, what's that? Here in sunny California, S.F. bay area.
Your winter starting a little early this year?
I was there during the storm of the century back in
87 or 88.
Back to OP.
Your dead on on the high price of Syncrowaves these days.
At
www.cyberweld.com the Synchrowave 200 is listed at $1,936.
To play is not cheap these days.
I paid $4,200 for my fully loaded 350 Synchrowave only item missing
was the spotweld timer back in 1991. Made my own torch cooler with a
stainless steel Procon pump, AC condenser with fan plus a reservoir. I was lucky as I welded for my electrical contractor at home on aluminum light poles on weekends this paid off the welder within 3 months besides a tax write off. I needed the amperage for aluminum besides loading up a 250 would of cost more than the 350. Today this is way over the top the money they're asking for a 350 Synchrowave. For Mig out of pocket under $250 for a 251 MM w/30A spoolgun due to my share of the copper off another job. My share split 7 ways was over $8,300, best part we were paid on company time to remove and cash it in by the contractor. Mig welder purchase, 280 cu/ft owner owned bottles Argon and C-25 plus Speedglas hood, still had money left over to take the family of 4 to Hawaii. Right place at the right time again plus was certified so the contractor wanted me on the state highway job we had. I could not replace these welders today as prices are higher as well no more copper for the wiremen as contractors have become money tight these days.
Back to OP. I would ask around as there are many certified professional welders out there you just have to ask around and find one that has his own welding equipment that will weld your stand at their home. Cash no paperwork or taxes will always get you a lower cost for welding your stand. Rushing any welder the price goes up instantly.
