[Karl83]

which i cant identified it a great welder and only paid £100 for it with a full bottle as well

 

[skotl]

Good work!

Might be a SIP but then it might be any one of a dozen makes

 

[Karl83]

work a treat but the cooling fan doesn't work hence need to know the welder to but a new one

 

[WorkshopChris]

Welcome,

The fan will be a standard part just need to know the voltage and dimensions. Any chance of a photo.

Ive one looks similar with ERP on the side, they were a box importer from hull, if memory serves me correctly, but as said above, any fan will do as long as voltage etc is the same

 

[Tiggy_dorset]

As above, ERP is a good start. See link below.

I believe a lot of ERP stuff was made by Telwin and was fairly decent stuff.
Telwin machines are sold under many names including Sealey.

Are you sure that its not a fan on demand, Ie: fan only runs if the machine starts to get too hot?

 

[Wozzaaah]

Being a transformer machine it's unlikely, normally the fan runs as soon as its powered up.

Time to open up the case, check the fan to see what voltage it is and then try running it off an external PSU if the fan spins freely.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Open the case, measure voltage to fan.
go to Maplins by a replacement and fit.
Aprox £20, if that.

cheers guy thank for all the comments will check voltage etc tomorrow or better still take a picture
