elektra- beckum mig 160/30

[blazaroma]

My dad gave me this welder about 8 years ago, and I am trying to find a few parts for it. I need the ground lead, w/clamp. Sleeve for the feed wire, and a tip/shield for the gun end. This is a german made mig, and no one here in columbus knows anything about this machine. Maybe it would be better to just get a newer mig. Any ideas? Anyone?


thanks for the welcome to the forum, blaze

you could just get a conversion kit to fit a eurotorch and you will be able to fit any ground lead / clamp

look at metabo spares here

I am in the usa. Are there any distributors here?

It looks to be a fairly well made machine so I would try all angles to get it sorted before buying anything else. As above, earth lead is easy to sort out. Torch spares, should not be hard to get even if you have to buy a new torch.
Metabo are linked with Electra Beckum so don't take no for an answer from Metabo USA.
Is your machine the same as the link The snooper put up ?
