Sears Colormatic?

By HNirider Date 08-17-2004 20:34

Is anyone familiar with this machine? I just received one without an electrode holder or cable so I don't know what kind of plug to use. The ground is hard wired but there are 2 holes, each about 3/4" diameter labeled "A" and "B" for the electrode. If it isn't already obvious I am a novice.
Thanks for any help,
Hank

I'm only guessing here but from what you describe, I would say and A and B are low range and high range. You plug the electrode cable into the range you want. I have no idea what the ranges are but there should be an indication somewhere on the machine.
I would check with Sears or a welding supply store to find the plug you need for the cable. It may be a special order item.

Get the model number of the machine (usually on a plate on the back).
