I don't know if the 175 is still being made, but take a look on Ebay. Also I would give a serious look at the Miller Econo tig. I never was successfull in finding any good deals on either one used on Ebay, but there is a heaping bunch of web stores on ebay that sell both Miller and Lincoln new welders at good prices.
If you are going to Sun and Fun you should also look there. Both Miller and Lincoln have booths set up every year and they have some really good show deals. They will usually give you a great deal and ship it free also if you are not driving. I almost bought an Econotig last year and will probably get one this year. I assume that they do the same thing at Oshkosh if you don't go to SNF. One of the big advantages at the shows is that you can bounce back and forth between the two and figure out which one is better for you.

Is this still being made or has it been replaced by the 185? The 185 looks big and was listed as weighing 220 lbs. Is the 175 about the same size? Can someone suggest a smaller less expensive unit? Mosty of my welding will be light materials like used on KRs.
