Pretty sure my failed unit was due to a broken connection in the watercooled torch lead. I will establish that tonight hopefully when it fires up for the first time in a couple of years.
I made up a twisted wire from scrap electrical cable and shoved it down the hose. Just need to solder it up and make sure that was the problem and the unit still works.
If that was the issue, I'll still be wanting a nice torch and hose combo because the torch itself is well dodgy anyway and I want to treat myself to a nice one for a change.
Recommendations please and if anyone knows what the connections are that would be a great help though I will see if I can figure that out also (assuming they're not all a set standard??). I seem to recall the articulated torch was something I was dead interested in last time I looked but until I fire my system up (successfully) tonight, I haven't really looked properly yet so like I say, happy to hear what's out there and what I should be looking for.
