Default Hobart CyberTig foot pedal problems

I have this Hobart CyberTig:

http://igor.chudov.com/projects/Weld...berTig-Welder/

It has two Amphenol connectors, the big fat one for pendant and a 10
pin one for foot pedal.

I bought a 10 pin foot pedal off ebay. Unfortunately, both the foot
pedal as well as my connector on the welder, were male. I bought a 10
pin Amphenol socket, wrote down the current pinout, and unsoldered old
plug and re-soldered the wires to the new socket. I wrote down the
exact pinout, etc etc. I double checked things numerous times.

The trouble is that the pedal seems to have no effect whatsoever. The
valves do not "click", etc.

Before I go on an all out troubleshooting effort, perhaps someone
could point out something obvious that I am missing. I can supply
pictures of the pedal or the welder etc.

My Cybertig 2, has a female 10 pin for the foot pedal. I breadboarded
up a pot and swtich and simply stuck the wires into the proper holes
to test the machine.

I wish someone would give me $200 for this thing. Currently its stored
outside.and winter is coming.

I live somewhat close to you but it would cost more than that to hop
over the mountains and get it.

Yes, winter is coming to LoCal. That means the monsoon rains will
start there in November, dropping up to 4" of rain by May.

It may not necessarily cost as much as you suspect it could. Call
Freightquote. Try Frank, Freightquote.com, 800-323-5441x1386, say that
Igor from Algebra Inc referred you (I get no commission on this, just
a matter of being nice). Also check out AAA Cooper, they had fantastic
rates recently. You may get a huge variation in quoted rates.

You also would get a good discount if this item could be dropped off
at the shipper's terminal and picked up at a terminal also.

I personally love my Cyber Tig dearly. It's a real thing. Not sure if
Gunner's is the same as mine, looks like his is a different model.


Gunners has a slightly different control drawer but has most of the
functions that yours has just in a different layout. His is also a
much bigger welder with a lot more amps available (of course that
means it needs more input).

At full out put of 675 amps..its rated at 105 input amps...of 3 phase.

A 10hp RPC will run it at normal welding amps.
