I thought I'd hit the jackpot when I paid $150.00 for a 2nd hand 160 amp Chinese inverter TIG/MMA welder yesterday, but the damn thing doesn't work! :(
The dual fans start but I can't get a spark out of it on either TIG or stick. I took the cover off and had a good look over it hoping to find a fuse, and it seems to be in good nick. There was a bit of a flash burn on one of the circuit boards, but I'm not sure if it looked bad enough to be the problem. It probably is.
Bit of a bummer. I can take it back without any problems but I wanted one.
