Hi All.
This is my first real post (excluding my introduction post) so please go easy.
My mig is about 20yrs old, and had a relatively easy life, but recently stopped. Its branded as a CigWeld Transmig 130 Twin - very much a home-handyman design as far as I can tell.
Observations and actions so far:-
Appreciate any suggestions.

My mig is about 20yrs old, and had a relatively easy life, but recently stopped. Its branded as a CigWeld Transmig 130 Twin - very much a home-handyman design as far as I can tell.
Observations and actions so far:-
- Fan comes on
- Pulling torch trigger will cause wire to feed.
- Contactor does not pull in when torch trigger pulled.
- Physically activating contactor - seemed to burn wire that was between the welding terminals.
- Burnt resistor on control board (was still working)
- Burnt resistor replaced (3.3 ohm, 7.5W, replaced with 3.3 ohm 10w) - no effect.
- Reflowed all solder joints on the board to be sure.
Appreciate any suggestions.
