I miss my old mig welder

[stefuel]

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.

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.

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

Do you still have the old Controlled Systems MIG welder? I am looking to acquire one.

[Moondoggie17]

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

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.
