what is this thing?

[daturbosix]

and whats it worth?

story goes i bought a estate that included a BUNCH of welding stuff. i tried googling this many times and came up empty handed. i cant find much info on it all. and yes, i called the number on the tag, but never answered and no voice mail, not sure if its still a repair center

any of you know something about it?
and my apologies if this is in the wrong section, feel free to move it.

TIG and Stick plug in or add on pulse generator.
Research the name on the unit.
Probably not worth much because you don't know what machines compatible with it.

Besides 1994 date on the tag means that it is over 20+ years old.

Technology in welding has passed this by, I am guessing.

Try taking it to a welding supplier that has been in business since 1994, see if they can identify it.

Good luck!

Your Pal, Gary

POWCON rings a bell as a welding equipment manufacturer. A little internet search reveals that they were bought out by Miller years ago. It will probably be very hard to find parts if it ever fails.

miller absorbed powcon sometime around 95

Edit
Heres a little history them

Ebay it with picts, but it looks like pretty junk since no way to test etc.

Nothing to add, but that address tripped me out because I used to work right around the corner as a teenager over 20 years ago when they were making that thing.
