O/T SIP mig welder repair?
Slightly off topic, but you guys are more likely to know the answer than
anyone else...
My SIP Topmig Turbo 150 has just stopped working. Initially, I thought a
thermal cutout was operating as after using it on high power for a
while, the wire feed and arc stopped working, though the fan kept
running. After an hour or so's rest it would be OK. It did this for a
couple of days, but now doesn't want to play at all.
I've checked with a multimeter and the trigger is operating properly.
The machine has power as the cooling fan still runs and the light comes on.
Anyone had a similar problem?
All the electronic wizardry looks to be on a small PCB behind the wire
speed dial which looks easy to swap over, so unless a replacement is
silly money, I'm inclined to try that before paying for someone's time.
So anyone know where I could get one?
Or know of SIP's home page?
Google wasn't being very helpful here.
Thanks.
