Well guys the mixer arrived today..so....naturally i had to "modify" it right away...it came with 3 inlets..argon..helium and CO2well i'm not using CO2 so i just "eliminated" the "unneeded" hardware inside...this is what i started with...front Attachment 4199rearAttachment 4200insideAttachment 4201see next post.....zap!Last edited by zapster; 12-27-2007 at 05:21 PM.I am not completely insane..Some parts are missing Professional Driver on a closed course....Do not attempt.Just because I'm a  dumbass don't mean that you can be too.So DON'T try any of this **** l do at home.

Reply:That thing was $1200 ? Looks like nothing more than some fittings, a few regulators and a mixing cylinder.John -  fabricator extraordinaire, car nut!-  bleeding Miller blue! http://www.weldfabzone.com

Reply:Roger that. Is it simple enough someone can make their own ?John -  fabricator extraordinaire, car nut!-  bleeding Miller blue! http://www.weldfabzone.com
Reply:I'm guessing each individual regulator is made specifically for that particular gas it has to process..I'm not sure..But that would make sence..Diffrent gasses are diffrent "weights" and thus would require diffrent spring weight requirements to function properly.....zap!I am not completely insane..Some parts are missing Professional Driver on a closed course....Do not attempt.Just because I'm a  dumbass don't mean that you can be too.So DON'T try any of this **** l do at home.
Reply:Regulators also have different internals, depending on the gases, because some gasses react with some of the pieces.
