Well, I finally got to use my PT185 over the Thanksgiving weekend. I traveled to my in-laws and parents area and knew I'd be bored on Friday while everyone went shopping so I brought my PT185 and my next motorcycle frame along for the ride.

Essentially I did all of the modifications as shown here in an older post:

I did it all on 110V with the little AC tig that could.

I must say I am very impressed with this unit, especially on 110V.

I also noticed that the panel knob does in fact control max output amps with using a pedal.

Great little welder, works great on low voltage as well. I purchased this to use in my race trailer at the track and fortunately I have not had to use it for that purpose yet. I am sure it will be a nice tool for teh 2014 race season.
