:0 looks like it was made 20 years ago :biggrin:

 

[nyd40cal]

Yeah it probably was made 20 years ago!! LOL

Thats why I can't find specs for it.

hopfully sombody on here was around 20 yrs ago and used one of these to tell me what amps it is!!

 

[montecarlo1987ls]

looks like its missing the amp adjustment knob on the front same one they sell at home depot

 

[nyd40cal]

yeah, I never seen one without the amp ajustment knob.

the guy i bought it from said there is only 1 setting, ON/OFF

mabe its missing?????? :dunno:

thing is ,,,,they all look the same!!! :biggrin:


I dont know what one I have to even look up the part.

If you can burn a 3/32" 7018 or 1/8" 6010 nicely, no snubbing out it puts out around 100amps.


If you can burn a 1/8" 7018 or 5/32" 6010 nicley, it puts out 120-130 amps range.


I highly doubt it would put out any more than 130 amps given it only has one heat setting. It's gotta be user friendly, so that's what I based my opinon on.

That thing dont look that old. More like beat to shit,I have seen much older. Before you plug it in take the cover off blow all the dust out & give it a good look over, maybe you will find a model number so you can get the missing parts.
