Reply:A quick Google search withamerican cryogenics welderturned up a link that at least one American Cryo model was a re-badged Hobart-built unit.  If you can make a similar connection and get the corresponding Hobart model # (assuming it started life at Hobart - maybe another company?), you might be on your way to some answers.HTHLinc Idealarc 250 / SP130 / ProCut20, Harris Torch
