Maybe a Cebora machine? Well worth sorting.

It's healthy to get stuck inside your welder, Lee, and learn how it works by having to fix it

When you do get it going then I was wondering about the pictures of the spool - it may just be dust on the camera / phone lens but the wire didn't look in great condition to me. Does it have any surface rust on it? Might be wrong - my eyes are old!

Maybe a Cebora machine? Well worth sorting.

Yes It is a re baged cebora machine I think,

The wire is a new roll I took out of my other welder maybe a little surface dust but not rusty

had a good play tonight fixed the gas flow problem cleaning the valve internals worked even though they didnt look that dirty I was supprised.
gave the inside a good blow out made a spacer for the wire feed, re adjusted the wire roller.

The wire is moving more freely now after taking the torch and euro fitting apart and checking the liner it still dont seem as freely as my SIP welder though.

Then I had a play with some metal to try out the settings, only to find the knob markings didnt correspond to what was happening after some more tinkering I too the knobs off and adjusted those too.

Then had another play.

Sorry to jump on this. A friend of mine got one left on the garage of the house he purchased and now want sell it to me. Are these mig a good one? How much are they worth?

How do you compare those with Oxford 180A of same age?
