Review on 125WFG Hot Max Ready Welder by Patrick Nepal

I ordered a used new version of this welder for $330 which was a great price. It arrived well packaged and nothing was missing. After setting up the welding carriage, I took a closer look at the welding machine. The 2 screws connecting the yellow frame to the chassis have been loosened. It looked like all the screws had been loosened and tightened multiple times. I plugged it in and it turned on just fine. The fan exploded and I heard a click when I pulled the trigger, but the impeller didn't pull the wire. He didn't move at all. After playing around with it for a few minutes, I decided to unscrew the lid and have a look. I noticed that the negative wire coming from the main capacitor has been disconnected from the motherboard. It was too short so I couldn't just put it back in. I had to add a piece of wire to bridge the gap. Strange problem, but it worked and I had no more problems with it.
