Thanks, the man that calls himself 'Lower' (unless he's a car lift with fast decompression function). Can you, Lower, please tell me where such a professional welder shops for his highly specified welder? I wish to be given usable intelligence. I can do guessing by myself with aplomb. Do you...

Just because God has let you stray onto precarious soil doesn't mean he isn't gentle with the rest of us.

Thanks. I have added up all the priced items in the ReadyPak and would be reluctant to obtain them all. I would like help to decide which of them are essential. Take it as read that if there was included an item called 'high voltage sky hook' I would not know whether or not it was essential...

However, a reserve price is not necessarily a high price. The reserve was what could be fetched at auction, simply the price I had paid at auction myself. God does entitle you not to sell at a loss

Thanks, everybody for your interest. I feel I need to enhance my original post so you will be able to help me better. I am clueless about electrical welding but had an introduction to oxyacetylene welding back in 1980. Wanting to learn to do electric welding, I bought at British auction on 17...

Thanks, morqthana. The whole street circuit does not need any explanation. I am number 5 in a terrace of 13. On the opposite side are numbers 107 to 118. Please indicate a domestic shower drawing 375 amps. The welder is shown as I received it from the auctioneer, i.e. never been kissed. You...

I am finding it difficult to agree with you. The cost of the items comprising what I call Part B runs to some £5,000. This is a brand new welder that has never been connected to an electric supply. The brochure price is some £12,000. I paid a mere £2,000. Surely you will understand why, as a...

It is a known drawback of auction buying that the usual consumer rights do not apply. In any case, my grounds for a refund would be that the welder is too powerful to be installed in a residential street. That does not amount to a defect. However, I have asked the manufacturer (as distinct from...

Thanks stevie888. My TIG Welder didn't sell on eBay auction. To break even, I had had to set a reserve price. Just doing that (setting a reserve price) subjected my listing to eBay listing fees that I had to pay even though the welder did not sell. Unfortunately, that was throwing money away...

The TIG welder I got requires to be connected to a dedicated supply, to have a dedicated ground, and to have electromagnetic suppression. In these respects, it qualifies as an industrial piece. However, if you meet the bloke with the pie, tell him I want some!

I wanted to learn welding at home so bought at auction an all singing and dancing hyper sophisticated TIG/stick welder. This is a brand new Lincoln Electric Aspect 375 amps K3945-1. It is an industrial type machine and I found that if I connected it up at home it would blow the whole street...

Thank you for that, Johntheo5. Because water can evaporate through the breather, moreso if it has been pumped over warm, I’d prefer to keep the supply valve open a bit. It’s starting to sound like re-filling slowly is an essential precaution. In the feed/open vent combination, it might be that...

Thank you for your interest, fixitflav. I have screwed down the floorboards temporarily to make safe. Until I lift them again, I remain unsure how the radiators hot and cold leave and rejoin the system but I think they're normal. I'll include then on diagram B. I have not shown the horizontal...

Thank you, Madrab. I am cogitating the above information to better understand how these things work. I will soon post a diagram of a proposed layout that will bring my system back into normal style, at which time I will welcome observations.

Thank you, Hugh Jaleak.
