My welder is about the same vintage as my 914. Keeping it running eats up more of my garage time than I'd like, but it was loaned to me at no cost from a guy that once used it on his 914 years ago, so it has some pedigree. In any case, looking for some advice on updating it a little bit.
Specifically, I was thinking of trying to convert the back connection for the gun into a Euro style socket. Along with this it would seem good to replace the wire feeder. It looks like this can be done for around $100 and the elbow grease. Anyone done this before? Good idea, bad idea? Here's some pics...   |

Have you guys seen the work this 914 hero has done with that welder? He's single handedly saving a 914 that otherwise should have been scrapped. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)
Just think of the accomplishments that he'd have made if not constantly fighting with that rattletrap of a welder. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) FYI - I started way back with a secondhand 110v Daytona MIG Cebora made in Italy of all places. Still have it but the best day of my life was when I stopped trying to do sheetmetal work with it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) |
