Guys,
The welding machine that was given to me by my Grandfather not long before he passed on has burned out.
I learned to weld on that machine and it is a shame to see it thrown out.
It is down to Earth on the Secondary side of the transformer and it will cost more to have the thing rewound, than buy a new one.
So, the question is, where to from here?.
I can use Stick welders, MIG and TIG.
The thing is I would like to be able to mainly do stick welding for things like Mild Steel to a thickness of half an inch like my old welder did.
Also, if it were in fact possible, I'd like to be able to weld a bit of Aluminium if the need arised, say to 3/16".
What are my options?.
I was thinking about just using my oxy-acetylene set, but like most gas, it's gone through the roof in price here.
Your thoughts please.
