Reply:I had the same issue on a 1e.  Check the weld power switches.  If they are functional test the diodes on the circuit board.  I replaced a couple bad diodes and it was good to go.
Reply:Ask your local welding supply. I know one in north zulch  Tx but I’m not sure about Waco.
Reply:great idea thanks
Reply:The Roughneck welders have slip rings. Since bend sitting 5 years the rings will have oxide and this will give no power.Simple to clean slip rings with 120 to 200 grit paper. Dave
