Ever been so mad at a project you wanted to just smash it into the concrete?

Stray Electron:
  Short answer, Yes!  And I did smash a lot of stuff onto the ground!  I always got a great deal of satisfaction out of smashing it too. But there were a few times that I regretted smashing it.  Not always but occasionally I couldn't replace the item.

Conrad Hoffman:
After carefully removing the clear face of the control panel, trapped between the case halves, it was possible to get the case apart. I don't know if it could be managed without removing that, but the service manual says nothing about it. The source of the ceramic pieces falling out is now obvious. The parts list calls it out as "Resistor, dropping" but unlike all the others, no value or wattage is given. No problem there as it's labeled and measures about 3 ohms. Shouldn't be a problem to replace it. I'm a bit calmer now!

after the 100th attempt, the miller welder showed error code #5, but responded to controls, after a burned smell. Now its back to not responding to controls but I know where the problem might be.

I think its been almost 2 years now. The only thing that keeps it in one piece is the high voltage circuit boards

 If only that high voltage was not there.

Sounds like you need... A Widlar-izer!
