Hi Hobart Expert: I was looking at some older posts (2010 or so) and the images are gone now. Does this board remove images after a certain length of time? These aren't images that were linked and go to a dead link. Looks like the images were embedded in the post (?), but vanished. Is this a...05-15-2021, 07:50 AM

The brushes are in good condition, cleaned and polished...05-07-2021, 09:21 AM

I turn on the oxygen valve and there's a distinct hissing noise. Sounds like there's a definite leak. Do I take that valve to a weld supply shop for service? Is there a rebuild kit? I know there are no oils to be used but can a soapy solution be used to find where the air leak is?05-14-2021, 09:10 PM
