Metal Man,
The machine my Dad has is AC only so I guess I can scrap the idea of using it for the work I need. As for buying a MIG, the investment in such a machine for me would not be worth it. I only need a few minor repairs done and can pay a pro to do them for a lot less than a new MIG would cost. There is a welding shop just down the street from my Dad and he knows the guy that owns it. I should be able to get the work done at a fair price. Thanks for the advice.
