I have a Speedglas 9000 helmet. It's been reliable for years. Changed the front glass, batteries etc but now, when I weld, i just cannot see the arc itself, just a green "fog" so that I cannot see where I am welding. The LH control button, the gold one, just goes round and round but the right hand, red, button can be altered from stop to stop but doesn't appear to change anything. It's been suggested that the unit itself has failed and that I need to buy a new helmet. There are the cheap ones from Screwfix (and even Aldi!) and i would baulk at paying several hundred pounds for something I use for moderate welding periods. The suggestion was to buy one of the cheap ones and see what i thought of it. Does anyone who either welds as an occupation or a serious amateur user have any advice please.
