Hello!
I bought a (very) old Linde Mig welder. It was made back in the 60s by Union Carbide. It runs on 220v single phase. It has a (large) bank of 10 electrolytic capacitors, in Parallel for filtering after rectification. One of them is bad, and I have done an exhaustive search for a replacement, or for information. It has an aluminum can 4" high, 2" wide, with two screw terminals on top. I can find an electrolytic cap, but I don't know what value to look for. The maximum output voltage is listed at 63vdc @ 200 Amps. Thanks for any help you may offer. Everyone in this country seems to be afraid to get involved, or they want to spend two paragraphs telling me "it's not safe to take the cover off of my welder."
