It's unlikely BOC ever brought that model into Oz. Were they in Oz back then? I doubt it.
Ask Toxic Avenger, he's got a lot more expertise on this sort of stuff.
My MIG welder was playing up last time I used it, intermittent wire speed.
I purchased it in the UK (I've been out here for 21 years now) so it must be about 30 years old. Cost about 350GBP at the time.
Never got used that much until the beginning of this year when I was working on modifying a car trailer.
I stripped the feed unit down today and found the grease in a couple of bearings was congealed. Then found that there is a lot of friction between the plastic spool and the mounting, added some lube as a temporary measure. Seems better, the wire feed has always been noisy. I've never changed the liner for the wire so maybe that should be next on the list.
Can you buy the wire feed module for an antique like this ?

It’s in bloody good condition for 30years...
Not sure if the liner on that is replaceable, but you should be able to get a suitable whole torch and cable kit that could be fitted.
As mentioned, Toxic would have a lot better idea.

As you said, if you have never changed the liner I'd be looking at that. I would at the least pull it out and check its condition. Its probably rusty inside if it is the wire wound type after all these years.

Might be an option.
Looked like it was nylon, I'll take the torch apart and see how easy it is to remove. The wire feed end was simple.....
It's always been noisy when feeding the wire, no matter how much tension you put on the wire feeder it slips sometimes. I did wonder if the groove in the wire feeder has worn.
Running better since greasing the bearings, I'll check the liner next.
Thanks,
Colin

If you’ve taken a peak and think the liner will come out, should be a simple fix. 👍
