    Hi to all
    I would like to know if anyone has information on this welder.
    re age approx
    can it be used for gasless wire eg reverse pole
    reliability and user friendly
    can it be used for aluminium welding?
    Regards

    Is it a CIG or a Cigweld unit? That will affect the age greatly.
    Yes it can certainly be used for Aluminium welding from say 3mm upwards (2mm on a good day if you hold your mouth just right) and I would be amazed if it couldn't swap the polarity and run gasless wire.
    Pictures would help.

    Hmmm, an old girl. Estimate mid to late 80's.
    Check under the cover where you put the roll of wire, there may be cables you can swap to reverse polarity. If not it is still possible but you will need to get a bit creative and make up a couple of leads.
    I think Grahame Collins posted a link some years ago that went to a site where manuals for all these old cig machines were available.
