Hey Guys,
Just thought i'd post seeing as I got a bit of a deal at an auction for an old (2007) thermal arc 180 ac/dc TIG welder unit (No torch or leads etc) I knew as soon as i saw it that there was something wrong with it as you don't see over £1000 ($1500) worth of welder at an auction with no reserve but I knew if I snapped it up cheap enough then repair costs + purchase costs would make a good deal. I managed to get it for only £18 ($27), bargain. I needed to re wire a new power cable as the auctioneers cut them if the unit can't be tested. The machine turns on and the digital control panel works fine but here's the wall i was gonna hit, it wont put out any current whatsoever, so here comes diagnosis time A nice little project i reckon. I:I
