This is the unit that I have. Both the original and my later unit have a foot switch to control the welding action. The old unit required manually tuning it, via variable resistors, to set the pulse power and duration. My newer unit has 30 digitally selectable levels of pulse, so getting repeatable welds is theoretically easiler. In truth there's a fair bit of art to the science.

The flat electrodes make it easier to get solid contact on my model than on the original. I just have to burnish them occasionally with a fine file or sandpaper, in order to maintain good contact and remove oxide.

One problem with pricing is that you're always being compared to what comes out of India and Pakistan, at cut rate prices. Ultimately if I can build the skills to make high quality custom stuff, that'll no longer be an issue
