Thank you both for your replies! Talk about quick response! Wow!!

In answer my budget is very low, that is why I am looking at Sieg or Clarke style machines, x1 preferably x2 type capacity. I have a max budget of £300 at a push which I know is not a lot to buy with. Times are very tight as I'm sure everyone knows!

I'm just surprised that these smaller machines don't find their way onto the second hand Market.

I've been hearing horror stories about the x2 driver blowing up lots so it seems odd that people aren't passing them on. I'd happily build a new control circuit.

Anyway, ramble and whine over ;-)

Thanks again :-)
