I recently repaired an ancient Airco BusyBee 250 AC/DC box...from what I've been told it is similar to a Miller rig.
It was donated to my high school from an HVAC company. I've been using the machine with no problems for a couple of months now - however it came with about 100 Ft. of cable for the stinger and a 15ft ground wire. The leads are definitely original, and are cracked in a lot of places. I tried to run through them and tape all of the spots where the insulation had cracked through to the copper (about 5 spots). Mostly, the outermost layer of insulation is cracked. I made sure that the power cable was structurally intact - it is.....old asbestos insulated cable!!!
Should I try and get the school to buy some new leads?
Thanks
