This is an original Lincoln gun, but it is seriously busted.

I wonder if it is fixable or not or I should just get a replacement.

i

Get a new one. And the new Lincoln's aren't so good with all the
plastic. I like Tweco, but it has been a looooooooong time since
I've bought one.

Thanks

Steve, do you know if I can use fluxcore wire in a MIG gun that was
designed for welding with inert gun?

Or do I need two guns, one for welding with inert gas, and another gun
for fluxcore?

i

I use the same gun for both with my little Lincoln . Just change tips
if
the wire size is different , and there's a slimmer hood for use with the
fluxcore wire . Don't forget to change the polarity too .


OK, thanks. I bought a tweco compatible import gun for $145. They say
it uses all Tweco compatible parts and consumables.

i

That ain't bad. In the 80's, they were $120. I hope they don't find out
about it, and raise the price.
