I bought a used Lincoln tombstone, probably older than I am, for US$40. Copper wound.
1/8" max sounds like car body repair rather than a blacksmith's welder. Do you have an electric stove of dryer whose plug you can "borrow" with an extension cord to be able to use a 220 welder?
I'd look for a used welder by a "name" in the biz myself.
