Hi
I have an old Lincoln buzz box that my father bought about 45 years ago. Not much by some people's standard but it's always done what I need it for.
About 3 weeks ago it suddenly stopped working. It'll strike an arc at first, but won't maintain it. I've cleaned all the contacts inside and out of the machine, with no luck. The rods are new (3/16;7018).
These are simple machines so probably when they die it's over but a new welder wasn't in the budget so I'm open to any suggestions.
Thank you.
