Should really be revising but I'm bored so let's resurrect an old thread;
The dial on my welder is exactly the same (Funny that), There's no way the numbers on the dial can line up with the actual current, I'm wondering if I could swap that 10K pot (Far right) out for a nice multi turn one and add a little 7 segment-based display. Plenty of room in there to hide a brain box and pass a ribbon cable through the louvres in the front...
The power setting dial on my oerlikon miniarc used to be from 5 round to 130 amps going up in tens. My new one is a nightmare to dial in correctly. View attachment 92835
