We have a well used Hobart Cyber-Tig 300 with a series 120 control board that has been used nearly daily for the last 7 years or so. It came from a community college and had very little use when we bought it and it has been a reliable machine. I think we paid $500 for it and then bought a new torch cooler pump/tank and connected it up to 480V single phase. A great, reliable machine until this week.
After searching the archives dating back over a decade, I see most folks have given up on repairing this model of welder with the most recent posts of anyone actually going to the effort of doing a repair being in 2008.
If I were to get a new machine to replace this machine - what would give me the same level of reliability and performance that this machine has provided?
We will likely try to repair this machine - but we need something reliable NOW . . .
We weld aluminum, stainless and mild steel from fine fiddly work with 18GU sheet on up to mechanical features on structural machine elements made from 3" thick steel.
