My best scrap yard/dumpster finds.
calexanian:
Somebody totally wasted that welder, and never opened it up. Sad. Oh well, great for you!
Cyberdragon:
Wait, if it was defective like that from the factory, why didn't the bloody idiot get it repaired under warranty?!
wasyoungonce:
Ohh sweet..its unplugged! Winning!
TerraHertz:
Niiiice!
Did you take that photo before or after noticing the unplugged connector? If after, I like how you put it at the frame corner, so it's not obvious at first glance. More fun that way.
H.O:
It was not from the factory, the machine has clearly been in use for some time, several stickers on it (which I removed), dust and dirt (which I cleaned up) and wear & tear on the front panel etc. My guess is the connector wasn't latched properly, either from the factory or from a previous service/repair and had come disconnected due to vibrations while transporting it.
I took the photo after noticing it was unplugged, the hall sensor was the first thing I looked for when opening it.
It's lacking the (optional) water cooler but for occasional garage use a self-cooled torch will be fine - and of course, for MMA it's not a problem.
