Hi all!
I picked this Hobart welder up recently, have done a few repairs to it such as a blown out capacitor in the voltage regulator and the previous owner wired the new ignition switch in wrong.
Mike at Midwest welding tested the voltage regulator, it was good. Motor runs excellent as well, unit has 440 hours
I'm discovering the Gen head itself might be the issue; between the slips rings should read 24ohms resistance but I'm getting 4-8 ohms. Is there a method of disassembling certain parts to clean em up? It's hard to believe that something has failed with that low of hours but who knows.
Or does anyone here have a parts unit? I'd love to get this welder running
Thank you all!
