Hi. So, I've acquired this relic of the past, I was really convinced it wouldn't work, but to my surprise it strikes an arc. I know very little about welding, I do know however that I should be able to adjust the wire speed, which I can't seem to do on this machine? At least not at fine increments.
I'll try and get a picture up, but for the mean time, there is a dial at the top left of the machine with 4 options. Options 1,2,3 do increase the speed of the wire, option 4 gives access to a wheel with the numbers 1-10, however, this doesn't seem to do anything. On the back of the wheel appears to be a crudeish potentiometer?
Just wondering if anybody has any experience or info they could share, maybe even a manual? The power dial does work, there is a toggle switch next to this, although I'm not sure what this does as the machine itself is rotten as a pear. This doesn't appear to effect anything though
Would be great if I could get this thing working, hoping to give it a nice new paint job and keep it in the shop.
