Transformer repair

admin

I’ve got a miller thunderbolt that needs the transformer lead spliced .  Thought I’d ask someone who maybe had a better idea and  the best way to splice it together again. Thanx !!!

JB weld back together, If that doesn’t hold I guess a new one is only about 15 dollars.
Reply:una pregunta le ha pasado a alguno de ustedes que al encender una Thunderbolt 225 XL no tenga salida ninguno de los 2 transformadores secundario? ni el bajo ni el alto. Que podria ser? la probé con otro eje selector de otra maquina y tampoco genera la salida de 70 voltios.. Que podrá ser eso?
