Hi,so I went into a HF store today to pick up some cheap cabinets and I saw an open box Vulcan 220 multiprocessor mwelder.Regular cost $900 on for $450 and it comes with a 7 day warranty.I am a hobbyist and don't do a lot of welding but have always wanted a welder so that when I need a welder I don't have to borrow one.So I thought this might be a good deal but then the manager asked if I was an Insider Member and when I replied I was, sold it to me at 50% off.So I ended up getting it for $250. I figured at that price and seven days to test it out I can't go wrong. If I get 2-3 years out of it, it was a good deal.So when I got home I checked at out and while it starts I am missing three parts which after calling HF they are going to try see if they are lying around but I doubt it.I need the 220V power cord, stick / electrode holder and the ground cable.I tried surfing the web but I can't seem to find an online parts dealer that deals with Vulcan parts.Any ideas for replacement parts?Thanks for the help.
Reply:The connectors should all be available as they are one of a number of industry standard parts. Just go look at the display model and you'll be able to match them up.
Reply:The power cable can be made with standard parts from Home Depot. It's a standard twist lock plug on one end and a 6/50 plug on the other. The electrode holder and ground leads are standard DINSE connectors, they don't need to be Vulcan brand, just the correct size DINSE.Miller Multimatic 255
Reply:My guess is that they used the same style parts as the linclone counterpart. So if they are available from Lincoln they should fit. These ground cable may work. http://www.usaweld.com/Long-Ground-C.../dinse250a.htmhttps://www.eastwood.com/mig250-grou...ith-clamp.htmlThis electrode holder may work. https://www.eastwood.com/electrode-h...SABEgIb1_D_BwELast edited by shovelon; 08-18-2018 at 04:46 PM.Weld like a "WELDOR", not a wel-"DERR"

Reply:HiThanks for the advice. I checked the mig assembly and it says I need a DINSE 35-70.
Reply:I am getting a bit confused.The mig guns connector says DINSE 35-70 but a number of reviewers say that the connector is a DINSE 50. They are not the same correct?
Reply:https://www.thewelderswarehouse.com/...nse-Plugs.htmlThere really are only two common sizes in use. I no longer own the Omnipro 220, but if memory serves me correctly it is the larger size.Miller Multimatic 255
Reply:HiSince its was an As Is sale Harbor Freight wont replace any of the missing components.I ended up ordering a power cord from them for $15 but declined ordering the ground cable and the electrode cable. Each was $40 and I figured I could make them each a lot cheaper.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Reply:sounds rightMiller Multimatic 255
Reply:It took a bit of time to find the correct connectors. I went to to two welding part stores and they couldnt match the connector. I took a chance on Amazon and found the right connector and made a ground and stick cable.For future reference in case someone else finds themselves in the same spot the right connector is:https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B011M...?ie=UTF8&psc=1In retrospect I should have bought a red connector for the stick cable. Now I just need to find some time to test the welder.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Reply:Where did you buy the cables? What gauge are those ( 2AWG or 1AWG)?
