Not to hijack a thread but I have a 200A portable butters unit with variable pedal control and new gun and a regulator. Mint condition as stopped tig'ing due to a missing feed finger and never got it quite the same again. So for sale if anyone interested
I've been looking for something decent/used for weeks. Wish I had asked here before buying new. Does the Butters run off a 32amp plug or 13amp? Still happy as I have 2 years warranty, so no worries if it breaks.
Butters unit runs of a 32amp plug. Haven't really advertised it yet as been umming and aahing whether to sell or not but time to clear some space so will be placing advert later after weekend after giving a couple of people first refusal.

I bought an RTech 160 amp AC/DC unit yesterday, best money I've spent in a long time. 20ltrs of Argon from Southwest gas supplies and hours of fun. I've done plenty of Mig over the years, so TIG is new to me. I'll post some pics when I'm up-to-speed.
I was thinking of upgrading my DC set to this RTech AC/DC set so I'll be interested to see how you get on.

I'll keep you posted, it will take me a few days to get used to the settings, but so far so good. The DC on mild steel and stainless is faultless. Ally definitely takes some getting used too, however I've already got some good runs and fillets down. I'm going to try some different Tungstens over the weekend and see how I get on. 160 amps is more than enough power for hobby/car jobs
Rtech are selling shop soiled units, which is what I bought at 100 quid off their normal price. They are not shop soiled at all and have minor paint issues on the main case at most. I can't see anything wrong with the unit I have.
I even got my Mrs to have a go with it this afternoon and she had no problem controlling the weld pool and adding some filler rod
The pulse function allows you to select a pulse frequency and amplitude, which can help to control your weld profile.
I'd suggest a watch through the Miller videos on Youtube for an insight into the features available on a TIG plant. The Miller guys eyebrows are freaky though!
