Guess my mig welder

[KimB]

Hi everyone,

This is going to sound incredibly silly but can anyone guess my mig welder. I bought it second hand a month or two ago. It's actually been pretty good.
I bought it being told it was sealey, I thought nothing of it to check for a name but I realised a week later that it doesn't actually say sealey on it ?
Yes I was having a blonde moment oops

One of the many Chinese mig Welders by the looks of it

Looks very similar to this one:

It does but there is no sealy on the logo but sealy are only rebrand merchants any way

It says "Made in Europe" on it. Possibly Italian? Cebora? Telwin?

It does, I saw the advert on my phone and it looked like the super mig so I bought it thinking it was Oops.

Could be but that could well mean final assembly/ quality check in eu

It looks so much like it I suspect it could be the same machine simply sold by another retailer, when sold by Sealey they put their logo on etc, so probably the same parts.

It does, I was looking at some other Sealey super mig's on google and it looks exactly the same without saying sealey.

It looks identical a very old sealey welder a friend of mine has but his says sealey.

Hopefully then it's just a non branded sealey

Photos of internals might help

more than likely

as in just the wire feed area ?

I would think it is the same as a sealey to be honest. I have a sealey mig and as mentioned above, its just a Clarke that's been painted red.

For a start control board, transformer etc

 

[KimB]

Okay here I took loads of photos of the internals.

Hope that helps ?

I've never Sean inside a sealy but that looks fairly well built. Not so sure about lack of air flow on rectifier bridge (Ali plates above fan) but I don't think that will be much of a problem

Oh that's good then . Is there a way any of you get the dust out ? Air gun maybe ? Obviously I don't want to damage anything with a brush ...
