Stroke of luck for a change

[Shox Dr]

I was given a Inverter Fusion HF160 MMA/TIG unit around 6 yrs ago, supposed to of gone bang, got hold of it to fix. Its languished under a bench ever since.. mainly as I already have a better set, and also wary of costs.

We've a 10' dia pan lid to make for a wood shredder, out of 12mm plate, not wanting to drag the Kemmpi to work I dug to out tonight, opened it up, and found a terminal had come loose. Pushed it back in and it WORKS

Aye, it's alright for some...


I think you've done OK on that one!
Now, just think though - if you'd done it a few years sooner you could have had years of use out it already!

 

[Jim Davey]

Nah, it would've packed up by now

Shouldn't this be in the "workshop bargains" thread?

Time to sell that rotten old Kemmpi before it goes bang then.......

 

[Shox Dr]

Cheers lads, took it into work today, I didn't get chance to use it, but one of the other lads did, and laid some bitchin' beads down. So happy days.

Anyone know what the incremental rotary encoder switches are?
One of them is faulty.

 

[Jim Davey]

See if there are any identifying numbers, then it's Google or a chat with the tech guys at RS or Farnells.

 

[Shox Dr]

Come to think of it, wasn't there a member on here that repaired them?

there was once a couple of lads repaired circuit boards for all sorts of gear in business and got chased

Welderfix?

I'd say send it to me but that would be touting for business. I might have a dead IFL in the shop though, if the customer doesn't want it back you can have the remains for a drink and cover the P&P.
