110, 220 switching sounds like a great feature. My Hobart can use a spool gun. Of course Dennis doesn't need this, but this tutorial might help others: http://www.mig-welding.co.uk/aluminium-setup.htm Along with list member help, I found that website very helpful for learning a bit about MIG. One of these days I'll take the plunge on a spool gun purchase and try modifying the intake manifold on my Jetta swap, (adapting 2 different intake manifolds). Neil.
