Hello All,
I know this isn't what many would consider a "real" welder, however I've been wanting to learn since I was a teenager, and finally came along a find that wasn't that expensive... however...
I bought it knowing that the wire feed motor didn't work. Upon further troubleshooting, I've seen that one of the coils on the transformer produce slightly more than 1 volt. I'm not ruling out the board, but seems to be the first issue to resolve. I've called Eastwood, and since I'm not the original owner, I was pretty much told to go pound sand. They also would not provide any schematics, so I'm on my own.
I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts where to start looking, or if anyone had one of this units, that would be able to tell me what the voltage SHOULD be coming from the transformer.
Thanks!
Keith
