lincoln 305g problem

admin

i recently aquired a lincoln 305g welder which runs fine, generates 110 and 220 power but wont weld. i understand the control board is prone to failure on this machine and would appreciate any help on proving if this is the problem as replacement boards are very expensive. thanks
