In an ironic twist, thats how I got my Mig welder. Uncle in-law brought it in to a service center in Appleton & it needed a new control board. Wasn't worth the repair cost so he bought a new Unit. Asked if I wanted it for parts or whatever & I happily accepted. He only charged me what the diagnosis fee was. $50 If I recall correctly.....
Anyway, pretty basic machine & it was an onboard relay that controlled the wire feed. I was able to order a replacement relay through Mouser & I had it fixed for under $12.00. MFG didn't offer board components, just the entire board. This was about 15 years ago. Mig is still working perfect!

My Miller went through two boards in two years ... then with the third was fine for 20 years.
Might be worth it to check into having the board looked at even if you want a new welder, at least you could sell the old one as a fully functioning unit. Personally I kind of want my syncrowave to die ... would give me an excuse to buy a new inverter machine. Which of course means it will live forever. |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
