looking to buy my first welder

He said it is 3 years old and it does come with a regulator, so all I would need is a tank or fluxcore wire
I definitely plan on trying it out

Sounds like a reasonable deal.

Keep in mind, IF it isn't set up for gas and he just has the kit with it, some things need to be changed to run the gas as opposed to flux wire.

At least the one I have did, if I remember correctly I had to change the polarity.

Just something to keep in mind.
