newbie in need of help

[rajsol]

Hey guys, I'm new here, but my first welder a couple of weeks ago, I won a snap on 130 turbo off ebay, seller said it was working ok but when I gave it ago it Turner out that the clapper arm is ******** the clamp that holds the liner in place is broken, I've been having a look online for a replacement but a new one is £100+ which is what I paid for the machine! So I guess what I'm asking here is does anyone know if there is a cheaper alternative or if anyone has a decent used one that I could buy. Thanks!

Weldequip sells parts, the link is at the top of the page. Failing that you will have to improvise and make the parts you need.

Post some pictures of the broken parts.

Welcome to the forum. As Rig Pig says, £29.30 from Weldequip for a complete wirefeed unit.

Nice one fellas but the site says they are out of stock but I'll try to call them tomorrow. Otherwise anyone got a used one!

Weldequip say the part is no longer available. The only ones I can find out there are pretty expensive, any other ideas? Thanks

Pop some pictures up , it may be fixable.

OK here are some pics: they are not the greatest but may be useful.
