Welder gave out on me.

Just an idea here....perhaps you should join a welding forum.....

and ask there as well, there very well may be someone there familiar with the machine...or at the very least be able to provide a schematic....Good Luck

I have been looking around a better part of the day ink. I do think I will need some good luck. From what I've gathered I've got myself a not so popular machine here from a manufacture that went out long ago. (80s?) The company that took them over (miller) didn't care to cater to the line. They must have bought them out to kill the brand and the competition.
I am still looking for a owners manual or at the very least a schematic. It seems I will have to find someone who has one that came with the machine when it was purchased new.
I believe I will eventually land a copy but I have not got any promising replys yet.
The numbers on the machine have turned up less information than the name of the welder.
I have been finding post with guys just like myself trying to find the schematics or
praising the machine for how well it preforms.
If it didn't weld so nice when it was working I would likely find a different machine that wasn't
so obsolete to replace it.
It would take a few thousand to buy a modern machine that can weld what this one did.
I also like the fact that it isn't digital like most of the modern machines. I am hoping
the fact that it has toggles and rheostats for controls it will be a cheaper and longer lasting
fix. Would like to get another 20 years out of it if I can.
