Is it secondhand, and if so what's the deal with the gas? Are you going to get a small bottle regulator and buy the little bottles, or does it come with a proper regulator? 120A is okay for most jobs on the Mk1 Golf, if you were doing engine mount changes, chassis alterations or other fabrication (eg a lifting frame) then I'd go for higher (150A).
it is second hand (from a mate of mine) it comes with small gas bottle and reg. as i'm sure you already know paul, it's only for body work nothing major.
cheers mate
(not making engine mounts just yet. (try that next year) :mrgreen:

Turbo is marketing blurb for saying it has a cooling fan. Some smaller MIGs don't.

Check how smoothly it feed the wire through, any hesitation or juddering then leave it.

better option is to look for kinks and damage to the wire feed line and what the gas fittings are.
