I miss my old mig welder
I miss my old S.A.M. mig welder. I actually had two of them. The first one died durring a duty cycle test. My fault. The second one bit the big one in a building fire (not caused by me). The part I liked about them the best was that they had amp and wire speed control on the torch with one control knob. I was spoiled by that feature. How come no one else makes something like that......or do they. I haven't seen any.

S.A.M? Never heard of this brand.

Re: I miss my old mig welder
They were produced by Control Systems of Ontario. They must have gone out of biz a long time ago. I just did a search and came up empty. They did exist though. I had 2 of them.

Re: I miss my old mig welder
I do believe controlled systems was bought out by AMD. Another Canadian co.
Will have to check my old phone book for my notes.

Re: I miss my old mig welder
Do you still have the old Controlled Systems MIG welder? I am looking to acquire one.

Re: I miss my old mig welder
Still looking? I have a fully functioning unit.

Lorch, EWM and Fronius all do welders with torch controls. They are proper industrial quality machines made in Europe.
There are a few others now also, like Bohler, Parweld etc

Re: I miss my old mig welder
Can you post photos of the inside of the welder.
Most time is the power supply die which is simply to replace from a electronic supplier.
