Hi all! I picked this Hobart welder up recently, have done a few repairs to it such as a blown out capacitor in the voltage regulator and the previous owner wired the new ignition switch in wrong. Mike at Midwest welding tested the voltage regulator, it was good. Motor runs excellent as well...

By chance do either of you have a parts machine? I'm in need of the ignition switch!

Contacting Hobart directly worked! It wasn't for the exact spec welder I had but is close enough to get me going! There is an odd wire from the resistor for the coil going directly to the battery from the previous owner... No wonder it didn't want to shut off on its own! Time to tune the...

I would have snagged the smart car when he wasn't looking :grd:

Please take a camera with you to the DMV, I wanna see the clerks face when you show them a picture of what you are trying to register!

My first step too is to remove nortons, tell them to stop watching all the porn, then to install Spybot: search and destroy, then microsoft security essentials and mozilla firefox. I rarely ever get calls back for more issues. Its usually to do the same thing to other PC's
