Hi everybody, my name is Tim I am a newby on here. I have an Atolynx 2 and have a problem with it. To cut a long story short I came to it one day and had nothing! had a quick look inside and could see that the last repair I had had done was a cobble, there was a component hanging off a circuit board by lengths of wire and some of the most atrocious soldering I have ever seen. I took out the board and fitted the component properly to the board. I still had nothing, and two repaireres have said they can not repair it as it needs new or sevice ex PCB`s and they are no longer available, then another guy had a look at the boards and got gas and arc working but still have no wire feed (the relay is not being triggered) eventho his test rig is saying that it is. I have a complete manual for this machine as I bought it new in 1979.
Can anyone make any suggestion as to how I can fix this as I know it to be a good machine when working correctly, I have seen a post on here that says I probably need to go over every solder joint on all the board! would this help.
Sorry for this long post, (good job I cut the story short)
Thanks
Tim
