Very informative thread. How does the ST200 compare to an old AC Lincoln tombstone stick welder as far as ease of use? I used to have one years ago and, honestly, never got very good with it.

Very well. Has a boost of power when you strike an arc (hot start) that helps prevent sticking. And it has continuous current control unlike the toumbstone's tapped settings. Has no troubble with 6010/6011 electrodes. And you can lift it with one hand.
On 120 volts input you are limited to about 90amps output, of course, so you will have to use smaller electrodes.
