Very nice HTP collection. I also have the HTP 221, air cooled. Still learning how to use it, and still struggling to do so. :D
Congrats on the collection.

I recognize the Invertig and its cooler on the left, and the Propulse. What are the other units?

Good idea! I wouldn't mind learning how to stick weld with one stinger in each hand, except that my eyes don't move like a chameleon's, lol. :lol:

....and just like that, BAM!

An HTP ProPulse 220 MTS ! :D

The slider control for my ProPulse 300 works with this machine too, so its pretty awesome. Full manual control on-the-fly of synergic settings. Hot start, down slope, hotter weld, colder weld, during short-circuit, std pulse, double-pulse, all eazy-peazy! Freakin sweet.

More firepower! Arg! Arg!

Oscar,

I think your collection of welders is amazing. However you state that you are a hobbyist welder in your profile. My question is are you a salesman or showroom for USA Weld or HTP?

With all due respect your level of personal gear for welding far eclipses the norm for a hobby. Please do not take this as an insult. Also, do you have any projects posted in the Project section of the forum?

Kirk,

I can certainly see why you might think so, but nope. I do not work for HTP in any way shape or form. My projects are few and far between due to my day job. Right now I'm just waiting to go into a meeting, so I get to check out forum posts here-and-there. I'm a school coordinator at a public charter school in Texas, and I paid for every one of those machines with my hard earned money. So to answer your question, no I'm not a salesman for HTP, nor am I a showroom for them either. Just like some people have "all Miller" machines, or "all Lincoln" machines, I simply have "all HTP". :lol: My gear does eclipse the norm for a hobby, but this hobbyist makes very good money, so I'm not limited by the limitations of other hobbyists. ;) Case in point, right now, I'm listening to music on my ~$4,000 stereo system. In my office at my work. It's my cheap stereo. I have my expensive stereo system at home. :D

They probably don't even pay attention to me, I'm just a hobbyist, LOL.

From the stats on the forum it looks like nobody pays attention.

So now that you've seen some of my rather meticulous (IMO) projects from before, I suppose that changes your view as to how broad the term "hobbyist" really means, eh? :)
