como 200

[xboxjoner]

ebay seller from Blackburn is going to sort the como 200 out, if he doesnt keep to his end of the deal it will be trading standards then, I think I have been more than fair with him, I will post again when I know more and hoping it will be good news this time.

phoned again today, they have checked welder on all 10 power settings and cant find anything wrong with it, all works as it should, the only problem I have with this is that I think they are'nt being fully honest with me as the welder I purchased and returned only had 8 settings. supposed to be redelivered to me on monday but I will not sign for it until I have tested it and if it doesnt work this time I will open a case with ebay...DO NOT BUY ONE OF THESE WELERS......

welder arrived back again yesterday, opened box to find one wheel had been broken off the welder in transit, this explained all the tnt tape wrapped all around the box, good news on the welder it self though, plugged it in put gas and wire on and IT WORKS, very well to be honest, nice range of power settings and some good welds, I just hope the welder stays this way now to much messing about with seller but at least he sorted it out, my advice on the como 200 welder is only buy one if you can get it local.... Hopefully no more problems and I can weld happily....

Hello - I am looking for a cheapish machine to upgrade my old gasless & the Como has caught my eye. How are you getting on with yours now? Is 35A low enough for car bodywork?

having no problems with it, welding all sorts of things from car floor pans/chassis to roll cages. it is a cheap machine and you get what you pay for but if your not using it constantly it will probably do the job

Can you please help me mate with the simple sketch of wiring from the transformer to the switch,or tell me which wire goes to which number of the switch.My switch was faulty but when I removed it to be replaced I forgot to properly label the wires.
