Hello.
I have a tradesmig 160. Refurb some 10yrs ago. Was never entirely happy with it. It would weld good one moment and nit the next. But i learned to use it. Today whilst providing some of the best welds its ever done it just stopped half way through a weld. I had nothing. I tried different voltage setting ie dropped from no6 to no5 and nothing. Dropped down to no4 and it worked as did 3 2 and 1.
Checked conectings etc but could not get 5 or 6 to work. So im asuming voltage swith is fudged. Now b4 i go trying to find another 6 pole switch can the switches be cleaned / repaired etc or can i wire it so i just stay on the no6 power rating. I weld between 3 and 5 mm so rarely use any other setting. Thanks in advance. Has any one got a switch or sujest where to get one etc thankyou
