Donal Harris Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 My dad’s welder doesn’t get hot. A welder repair shop told him it is the gun. I’ve searched online for replacements, but none of them have the same pin arrangement. They all have the same pins as what is in the last photo. Even the online owner’s manual has pins like those in the bottom photo. Has anyone any experience with guns for this welder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 How old is the welder? Have you contacted Lincoln Electric home office? It MIGHT get you the parts or at least information but since they've changed owners you may now have a ghost welder. If you can't get parts you may have to replace the whip and receptacle on the machine. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 I think parts are still available for it. This forum has some info about them and Lincoln Electric should help with the correct gun. https://weldtalk.hobartwelders.com/forum/weld-talk-topic-archive/welding-products/2647-lincoln-sp250-any-good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donal Harris Posted November 28, 2022 Author Share Posted November 28, 2022 That was a board I had found. If I understand what I read correctly, he can switch to one of the standard guns, but will lose the ability to make adjustments for some things on the fly that he used to do with the guns microswitches. I’m taking the pictures by the local welding supply place sometime this week to ask them if they can tell me anything about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les L Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I would go with the simple gun and not worry about being able to make adjustments at the gun. A lot less to go wrong and at a better price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
