DC welder/inverter? I think I saw one like it on another forum. That thing on the bottom looks like an old voltage regulator before they were inside alternators.
I had a similar AC stick for awhile, I liked it.

We had an old one for years until I bought my AC/DC/tig, great working welders.
7018AC rods work the best with one.

Got rid of mine for the same reason. Bought a AC/DC High frequency stick/tig machine. With the right 7018 AC rod it runs "almost" as smooth as a DC machine. |
