I have a Kemppi master 2000 (or something like that) tig/MMA welder in three phase. I have been told it is a good machine but requires some repair.
It needs a new Printed Circuit Board and some switches repairing. I have a quote of £244 plus vat for this work to be done.
Although he set has MMA leads, it will require a tig torch which I have been quoted at approx £150 + vat (I think it needs a slightly different plug than a standard torch!).
What I need to know is
A) Is the machine worth repairing?
B) Could I do it cheaper (i.e. - buy the PCB myself and fit it (is this hard to do?)). I think the switches have the stalks/knobs missing so about four would be replaced - is this a simple job if I can get replacement switches?
C) Can I get a torch cheaper? - This will need the correct plug or and adaptor to suit!
As always any help is received with thanks!
Regards
Mick
