I agree having a permanent flux core machine set up is really handy. As mentioned elsewhere I converted a little Sealey mig to gasless and keep it handy at all times in my workshop. It's used way more than my larger migs and is a very capable little welder.
When the bearings on my concrete...
For what it's worth I converted my very ancient Sealey 100xt mig to gasless a while back. I now find I use this little machine far more than any of my better migs. It's just so handy and since most of my welding is simple little brackets or quick repair type jobs it does what I need perfectly. I...
Here's a complete guide to converting a Migmate 130 to dual. (At least I think it should be attached if I got the procedure correct??)I expect the 100 is much the same?
No problem I was just a bit concerned that maybe putting it in an envelope was not such a good Idea. Glad it got to you and has improved the machine.
As I said before you will probably find that the less pressure you can use on the roller setup the better the feed will be. Less pressure means...
OK Chas I'll measure it tomorrow but as far as I know all the cheap and nasty SIP wire feeders use the same bits so pretty sure it will fit. I have found that the pivot unit the bearing carrier fixes to is probably the most useless part and is simply not strong enough even when new. The inbuilt...
Hopefully there is an attachment below which shows how to do a gas/gasless conversion to a SIP welder. This should pretty much apply to yours too. The main thing is that one wire needs to be reconnected internaly instead of to the gun power cable so that when the gun is swapped to negative...
Hi. I imagine eddie49 will be along before long and if anybody can get you sorted he can. Just hope you'll keep in touch with updates on the problem and not just disappear like some others do after being helped by folks on here.
I glanced at the board pics and noticed there are some trimmer...
Oh dear that does look well neglected. Almost looks like it's been outside for a long time or at least stored in a very damp shed somewhere.
Outside doesn't matter too much and can be cleaned up and repainted but if the weather has got inside it may be a whole different set of problems. Maybe a...
Hey @eddie49 I've just noticed that this board has a lot of spare places which are unpopulated. Also seems the missing components mean a few of the wires to the choc connector are not being used. I can't imagine there was a smarter brother to this machine? so what would you guess the empty...
Glad to help. Just hope the rest of the machine is OK. If not you're in the right place to get all the help you need to sort it. Either way I hope you'll come back and let us know how you got on.

OK thought you were talking about the control board which is inside the steel box on the left screwed to the welder front panel.
The component you are looking for is an electrolytic cap of 2200uF 63v and the block beside it is, I believe, a Phillips BY225- 200 bridge rectifier. I say believe...
I have the same machine. I haven't used it much till now as it's been a spare for my Britweld but that one is out of comission for the moment so have been using the Oxford. I'm mainly welding thinish stuff (bicycle frames and 1.6mm or 2mm box section) and have just used it on middle inductance...
OK here's a couple of pics of my Britweld board. Not great but pretty clear so you can see which bits are missing on yours.
John
Having probs with pics for some reason. Hope they have appeared ok?
Hi. I have a BR195 (lovely machine). I'll get pics of the board today and post here. If you can show which bits are missing I can see if the values are readable and let you know.
