Well, I won a 100 amp clarke welder on Ebay for 31 quid spares or repairs.

 

I got it home, took the cover off, and found the reason it didn't work was someone had stolen the thermal cut out switch.

 

I've swapped the torch over from my other one and the wire feed isn't great, but I'll figure that out!

 

I think the wire that is on it is old and corroded so I'll just swap the reel over from mine.

 

I need to order some new tips, then hopefully I'll be back in business!
