Need a backup tig tig

[Gremlin]

Now my Dynasty is in the shop and will be back who knows when I am thinking about a backup machine as am stuck with a job half done. My projects are usually on light aluminum
1/8 to 3/16 max. The Dynasty in the shop is 3 yrs. old with very little use, I have a Econotig
that also is on the blink so am looking at the Lincoln 175 tig ac/dc. I like a button on the
torch instead of the amptrol . can the amperage be set on the machine and contactor be
controlled with the button on these machines?

Thanks for any info on the Lincoln small tig machine.

Been using the heck out of a Longevity TigWeld 250 ac/dc for about 6 months now. Not a single problem and I am really liking this machine.

I also have a Miller Syncrowave 200 as a backup machine. It was my only tig but the Longevity is easier and quicker to get on location and set up. IMHO.

The following link can help you about using an Arc Start Switch, and setting the amperage at the Lincoln 175 AcDc as you like,
