I bought a couple of non working welders at auction and the 251 is one of them. The code and or spec numbers have faded into oblivion. I need a manual that will at least show me a functional block diagram, internal wiring and a parts breakdown. Used welders are scarce in my location and I am trying to find out if this is repairable by me or better to part out and look for another used welder. I have extensive troubleshooting and fabrication resources. I have read a lot of 251 posts on this board, but no information other than the gun, and mine has an aftermarket gun anyway. Conversely, if anyone is looking for parts or has a comparable transformer based machine for sale for a reasonable price locally to St Paul, Mn please let me know.

Here are some pics. I can see the transformer is fried. What on earth could have caused that, given this was a 100% Duty cycle machine? It is possible someday I could find another salvaged transformer, or have this one rewound, but I would need to know the specs of the transformer, and what would have caused this failure, so a manual would still be helpful even if it can not be repaired. The rest of the machine looks ok.5 Photos
