Hi there,
New the the forums and this site (which is very good / informative)
I've just picked-up a second hand mig unit and after a bunch of phone calls I thought I'd share some info in case some other nieve fool is in the same boat...
So it's painted red and branded "Snap-On" on the side but on the front panel it's called a "Arcos Lincoln minimig 185" yea, I could not find reference to that on Google..
This morning I called Lincoln Electic and was told it's actualy a Murex ESAB Tradesmig unit. I called Murex and got the same gen, it's a 165 amp unit from about 15 years ago (or as the guy said, it's been out of production for 10+ years...)
Anyway I got the manual from their website and even found some people slinging spares on fleabay (though as far as I know it works fine, bloke that sold it to me used to run a bodyshop, it does not look hammered)
So there you have it, hope this is of help to someone somewhere sometime....
Oh an if anyone has one, any info would be apreciated
Cheers
Simon
