rab,

You can find some here I think. Sean Murphy has one.
I also have a couple videos posted on our youtube channel of the tig weld capabilities and general operation.

Sorry i can not help you with pictures or Videos, but i can say that i took the opportunity to do some stainless steel using the TIG in 110v and i find the lift arc to be very straight forward and simple to use. Unfortunately i will not have the time to do much with it over the next 3 weeks as i will not be around .
hope to spend some time using this and the the dual 160 to try to get a good comparison when i get back
Cheers

I got a lot done today so i might actually have a little time to play with the 140ST and the 160 tomorrow, to see if the differences are that noticeable with lift start and the 160 HF start

I will take some pics showing the weld and will try to get them up on the forum
Cheers

One of these day's I'm going to put up a tig video of the Power Arc 140. Here is a pic of me tig welding with the 140. I posted some pics of a set of headers that I welded in the off road section. I have welded stainless steel as well, I repaired a buffet table or hot plate that was stainless. I do not consider myself a good tig welder, I can tig weld, but I am no expert. I have used my power arc 140 in tig mode quite a bit, I like the simplicity of the machine.

i got my 140st today, set it up on tig with 220volt.
i have never tigged before ever,got it welding right away and was impressed,but only got to mess with it for about a half an hour but remember i never ran a tig before so take it for what its worth.

one thing i did noticed thou that i thought was odd, after i turned it off you could here it power down just fine, but then when i went to unplug it i heard a nother (slightly quieter)powering down sound, also the same thing happens when powering it up.
anyone else notice this (i could only notice it when it was super quite in my garage)????

This is normal. It is the capacitors discharging.
