    Kr_cf,

    Transtig 180 manual, had one several house moves ago and have no idea where it has gone. Still have welder & use regularly so feel free to ask any questions.
    My local CIG dealer had an original manual and copied it for me about 10 years ago, it might be worthwile asking yours.

    ISL33,

    I would love a copy of the transtig 180 manual , had a big search for mine at the start of this thread to no avail. The local CIG agent closed many years ago .

    This welder was not a goer when purchased, 2 new diodes required, and had fallen from ute. Frame was rebuilt using uni-strut with new wheels/castors and bottle rack. Other aditions include the on/off switch.

    All Transtig 180's are basically the same and use the AC transformer common with the Transarc MMAW (stick) machines. Some have the optional remote control and gas solenoid.

    sorry all for no reply, just got access back to my computer. please see if you can pm me your details all again and i will get it organised as soon as i can.
    Stringy it looks the same as mine just different colours, that's all.

    I wonder what needs to be done to adapt a amp (foot or finger) control ?

    ISL33P,

    The remote would only be able to open the gas solenoid (optional) and maybee power on/off to he handpiece. Moving the shunt in and out to adjust amps would never have been an option due to the design of this transformer . Therefore having the remote to the handpiece wouln't be of much use.

    my transtig was resprayed with whatever was lying about to stop it rusting.

    Please PM (wish I knew what this means ) me, my details are in my profile thingy. and if known what is the acronym "SWMBO" . Hope it is not refering to my S****d Wife Making Bad Omlets.

    Have seen a project a while ago in Model Engineers Workshop,about improving tig welders.They used some small pulleys,motors from printers or some such.I think it would be a lot of work but could be done (because you want to )Seem to remember the 180 cig tig was manufactured under license from a large us welding company, perhaps Miller.Do a search on tig foot controls,that may give you some ideas. I had my welder changed from scratch start to hi freq.by a welding machine repair guy.I was thinking of doing the foot pedal amp control,but i have to many other projects on the go.Have you seen the system old fashioned valve radio used to change stations and the same time move a "stick thingy" that shoved which station .Some sort of endless loop.Good luck

    Hi All,

    I have it all done...sort of. It is a jpg file per page, approx 33 pgs and 16mb. would you like it on cd ? If so, i will just make it $5 delivered which will cover the cd cost and postage. i think this is the easiest way.
