Hi all,
I have an old CIG Transtig 180 welder and a capacitor in the High Frequency Pilot Arc box has failed. They are not available from the makers (Miller USA) or repairers of these 35 odd year old machines, and I have had no luck sourcing one via the net. I have read almost every thread in 4 international welding/machining forums with no leads. As best as I can work out it is a 5000V AC .002micro farad. It is just a large block of plastic with 2 studs for terminals. On the net there are all sorts listed, but I do not know if any of them are suitable. Does anyone know of a suitable replacment, or what others could be combined to do the job. It will be a crying shame to have to dump this otherwise perfectly good machine and buy another chinese import. I have also posted this in the electronics section.
Here is hoping someone can help,
regards,
Crocy.
