I 2nd the Clarke 135TE, I've done a full resto using mine. It's not so good for fine tuning as it only has 4 settings but I managed ok with it.

Another one here for the 135TE, a great bit of kit.

Ive got an SIP MIGmate.. its still welds (ten years on) but wouldn't buy another, the wire is forever getting jammed, and its a pig to re-feed it!
Thinking about an upgrade at some point, so will stay tuned.
why dont you just change a trigger for a decent one and also change the line, its what i done with my sip

Decided on a Portamig 215 with the option of spot-welder timer..
