H F control unit for stick welder

[turbomangler]

hi , i,m another newbie to forum ,my job is welder fabricator ( mig, tig, stick , oxy actylene )
has anyone got or used a H F control unit to convert a stick welder to a TIG welder ?? i have just purchased one from ebay its a SUREWELD TYPE "C" and would like any advise / criticism on these units , never used one myself , but i got it with a DC output stick welder a sureweld linear 250 amp this set up was used for welding stainless with the DC output . i bought it hoping to be able to use it on my cytringhan 180 amp oil cooled stick set to weld aluminium as the oil cooled set is AC output which is needed for aluminium, some of these type of HF units where AC/DC others where DC only . has anyone come across the sureweld type "C" ????
i look forward to hearing anyones views on this subject , cheers steve.

H F control

hi, just as an update i contacted sureweld about an operaters manual for this unit ,i was told they haven,t sold these units for around 25 years so would have to search thru the archives to print me a copy of so would have to charge £10 for it. i ordered one which i got posted straightaway.
so the out come is the unit is an AC/DC set with max out put of 320amp, obviously only if the welding transformer its coupled to has that ampage output. so next step is to couple it up to my 180 amp oil cooled set and argon bottle and give it a try TIG welding aluminium. unfortunatly i,m on holiday at the moment and the wife sats we can,t go home early just for me to play with the welder !!!
