Oxford 195 Turbo Mig

Hi, I have bought an Old Oxford Turbo Mig 195 says Classic on the front. I have no details or instructions and wondered if anyone had one of these and could tell me the volts/amps of the 1 to 8 position power switch, Many Thanks

Pic of the data plate may shed some light on it's power range
And welcome BTW

There is no Data plate, Model number plate, nothing,
I`ve googled no mention of the model. Sent an Email to Oxford welders, no reply.
Maybe It`s the only one!

is it 3 phase ?

Thanks for your reply.
It`s single phase. It must be of that range mentioned in your link because I need to replace the Diodes (70hf60) It`s very nicely put together inside, wires are knotted/strung together what ever they call it, like an ww2 Radio.
Thanks

Cable lacing if I recall from my apprentice days (NO, IT NOT IN WW2 !) .

Someone was replacing there diodes recently on a blown mig (can't recall who or on what) but other members did point them to some good prices for them compared to what some go for on ebay.

I've still got a couple of rolls around somewhere of the waxed thread that was used for lacing. I think I last used it on the 30A 12V PSU I made some years ago.
