Hi all,
A mate of mine has recently bought a second hand one of these, unable to get the thing to go he calls me and after a bit of "faffing around" (new liner fresh 0.6 steel wire WD40 etc) we get the thing running with some Co2 gas he has cadged from a local pub.
Off he goes then welding his transit for the MOT and about half way through it stops, prolly overheated I says... not so...stripping it down one of the components on the PCB has a hole blown in it.
I did find a place "Weldmet" that sells replacement PCB's but at £61 the price seemed a little steep especially for a single sided board with about £5 worth of components on it.
Do any of you knowledgeable chaps know what components make up the PCB in one of these things or perhaps someone out there has a "Maplins" parts list for the PCB components?.
BTW this thing is horrible to use when running, the wire feed is terrible.
Any and all help greatly appreciated
