GYS 220 AC /DC TIG

[NickyEng]

Did you? Maybe I'm talking a load of rubbish then, I'll have to check whether torch and regulator is included. It usually says in the description on the site :P

Yeah I pretty sure they are not included buddy hence why I joking you diddled yourself...

Hello,
I want to buy one of these machines but I need to change the trigger connector of my old tig torch. What type of connectors has this machine?.What potentiometer resistance? .Can you put any photo of the front and rear connectors?.

Thanks.

@Jim Davey is a GYS agent
He will know exactly what you need and may even be able to do you a great deal on the unit and the plugs you need.
Nice guy to deal with.

Sorry, my english is very bad. On page 33 Appears the wiring diagram but not the manufacturer or model of the connector. I think that this connector is Amphenol. The price of this machine in Spain is more than 1000 euros higher than in France. The price of the GYS connector is 90 euros including shipping costs for Spain. I think that WEIPU WA22 connectors (a chinese manufacturer) are compatible with the trigger connector.

Bruno BOUYGUES <B.BOUYGUES@gys.fr> Bruno is one of the bosses Carlinos, they are good people at GYS, try Bruno.

And where are you in Spain? maybe something can be worked out.

Hello,
I´m from the north of Spain (Asturias). I bought this machine and receive next week. I just ordered the connectors in Aliexpress. My last tig welder was a JLT 210 AC/DC a it broked down. I hope this machine does not give me problems.

Thanks for that Norlander, its not bad compared to unknown quantity chinese/far eastern stuff.

Happy with mine, its not hammered though, if you mean the grey/black GYS line Rich, they are the Pro line sets, the yellow stuff is small workshop/more serious DIYer/ sort of line. I was offered a go on one of the prolines, but at my level the yella ones are fine.

The yellow ones look the business too. I particularly like the 208 (yours with the little cooler) that looks a very neat set up.

I don't know Jonesy, but I can find out if you wish.

I thought they might be local to you, or you had dealt with them before. I'll send them an email and see what happens.

OK, give me a shout if you get stuck.

Hello NickyEng,
I am considering getting the GYS 220 AC/DC welder, so was wondering how has it been working for you?
Or any other members, who use it.
I am quite serious about mastering the TIG aluminium and stainless welding so want a "future-proof" machine that will support all my tasks as my skills grow.

Thanks!
Ciro

Hi Ciro, i am surprised you cannot find a suitable welder from Telwin, Cebora or Selco- to name just a few italian made quality welders...
