Yes it is DC. Won't be doing aluminum.

Can't help you with getting it running, but to answer your earlier question about running it off of a generator it should work fine as long as it's a quality generator of sufficient size. I have a invertec v350pro and have run it exclusively off of a generator(I use a 33kw 3 phase diesel unit) for about the last 8 or 9 years. I find mine about the nicest machine to weld with of any I've ever used and I've burned many 100's of pounds of rod with sa200's, the invertec is every bit as good, you'll be happy with it if you get it working.
Originally I was thinking I might need to bring a generator to test it before buying. I would've used my Hobart champion 16. But then the seller came up with a way to test it so I didn't need to bring it after all. Good to hear that it is a good welder. I hope it's fixable for less than a new one costs! Haha

The discolored resistors all look normal. Check the blue box capacitors on the power switch pcb. Right side of welder. see if they are loose. ran into one welder that the one below wire 205 was loose and the caps could not balance. If you know how to use a voltage test meter safely on powered equipment. Measure the voltage on each large capacitor that is bolted to the pcb. Each should be 166vdc and with in a few volts. Line voltage times 1.414 divided by 2.
send me you email by private message. If you don't know how to work on powered on equipment get help from some one who does. you can not out run exploding parts.
Thanks, PM sent
