    Default Peerless 160 amp 240v welder labels

    Hello all, I have a peerless welder 160 amp which Ive had since new. Unfortunately during its 30yr lifespan the labels on the front & top have fell off. What I need is from someone who has one is a pic of the top and front label so that I can re-label the relevant knobs, terminals and amp settings. I am giving this machine to my son who is just starting to learn to weld and feel it would be a little easier for him to start at the ballpark settings for various rods and then fine tune the amps from there.
    The model of my machine is P160HT and is a blue cube shape on wheels similar to the one in the pic below

    I see no picture in either post. I had a Peerless buzz box many years ago with 3 terminals plus the amperage control on top.. From memory the terminals were from L to R - 80V OCV (for low hydrogen rods), 50V OCV for normal rods and Ground. It was a heavy sucker but rock solid, duty cycle was as long as your arm and routinely exceeded with no ill effects.
