    From Mikec@21:1/5 to All on Sat Aug 21 22:18:02 2021
    I cannot find a manual for this,I have with much time and flipping this switch that nob finally got it stick welding.great but my issue is ,I was a pipe welder for years useing GTAW and stick every day usually with 70 series rod
    and filler wire for Tig bit never in my life ran into a older machine like
    this old girl,got it to do aluminum looking for a simple setup starting point to just get started a basic starting point there is so many nobs and switches it would be greatly appreciated if someone out there could give me a starting point with that perticular machine what my settings would ruffly be for 3/32 tungsten and filler wire for.3/16 aluminum plate Thanks a bunch to anyone who can help me out here

    Controls look similar to a Miller Syncrowave. Get a manual for that
    machine. Look for an older Syncrowave 350.

    contactor = remote for a foot pedal or finger tip switch.

    Weld current = local, or remote if using a foot pedal or finger tip
    control.

    crater fill = OFF

    spot time = OFF

    start current = OFF

    preflow = set to 1

    post flow = set to 5 - 10 or to keep tungsten clean.

    ac balance = full CW for max penetration ( clean your work piece
    first) or start at 50/50

    pulsar = off, ignore the rest of those controls.

    high freq = ON Continuous ( always continuous for AC TIG )

    Big switch set to AC

    range = high

    amps = 150

    That should get you started.
