I'm  guessing that in just a few years pretty much all welders will be 
inverter  rather than transformer welders.They'll all weigh 40# or less and 
the big  heavy transformer types will be for sale on Ebay for  $50..



That's quite interesting. Is there some not-too-complicated information  
regarding inverter welder technology readily available somewhere? Is it  really 
probable I may be able to replace my 20+ year old Hobart Beta Mig 250  with 
something much smaller, lighter and cheaper in the near  future.
