My son has decided for a Metal Work Project is to build a Alternator welder... So today we went to revolved where he bought a 4 Stroke mower $15 and while there a bloke got talking to us and said he had a Esab Alternator welder at home, Hell it sounds like cheating, anyway we went and bought it $25...
The thing is that there looks like a control box missing and my concern is that this unit use to punch out 240volts also... Not something I want him to take to school...
So here are a couple of photo's and if anyone has any advise on how to wire this alternator up safely it would be appreciated... Before we do anything I will make sure we have it checked by a Electrician if there is any doubt at all....
If this works out I might just rewire my alternator on the 80 just in case I needed a welder out bush..
This dude we bought it from was a fanatic model plane dude that must have at least 8 gas powered helicopters and a dozen or more model planes hanging from rafters and on boxes FFS.. a couple lathes and a milling machine... He also gave me a vacuum pump for meth recovery for Biodiesel and Callum a electric helicopter... If anyone is in the market for a couple Alfa GTV's 1970's Yamaha offroad bike, boats, printers, scooters, Honda generator motor going gen broken.. on and on and on.... In Canberra though... he just spend $50k on a new Caravan
Thank You
