First off thanks to Fritz for putting up with a new to building electronics! he is an awesome guy to develop an awesome machine for the fraction of the cost and then put up with new guys like me. Hat is off to him! http://frikkieg.blogspot.com
So after wading through all the Chinese crap and getting screwed on a deal I decided to go the build it yourself route. After many hours of searching, pondering and tire kicking I settled on Fritz's welder. All said and done I'm out somewhere between 5 and 600 bux but I feel better about this than a stab in the dark buy from China. It was this or the DN-10. From what I have read it should put out about 10,000 amps so .2 mm nickel strip look out. I got about 400 cells from Doc and I ain't afraid to weld them. So I'm 99% done but the bridge rectifier I bought is bad so I just ordered two more.
it was a really fun and easy project. Seeing how a 200 watt second Sunstone unit cost just shy of $4000 I know I've made the right choice. I have a 20' roll of .2mm nickel ready to go.
Here are some Pictures and I'll update more when my rectifier shows up.
