broken SIP

result!

sip autoplus 180 about 10 years old that never gave any bother until a week ago when it blew a fuse every time i pulled the trigger.I opened up the caseing and had alook inside and seen a relay that looked burnt so I replaced it but it did'nt do anything,still blowing fuses.

Hi Simon,currently fitting two post carlift in garage.not an easy job every thing heavy.Inserted images of welder,as you can see an old one,but can carry a full size bottle.I was looking at new ones when this broke,but they all seemed unable to take big bottle unless you go realy expensive.The wire feed on mine is sticking, though it was searious but only rust on wire, not getting enough use
.Thinking of buying tig,ac/dc any ideas, not to dear but reliable.
