I've determined that my welder is frequently shorting out and flipping the breaker when I use it. Should I make an attempt to have it rebuilt? And if not, is there anything else I can use it for? It is a very old model, and I wouldn't mind replacing it, but I don't want to be wasteful.
There has to be a shop that repairs electronics. Or go to a hardware store and ask if they have any idea it could be worth repairing. Good to see you don't want to be wasteful :) About half the time it isn't worth repairing though. Gl

repairing a lorch is worthwhile, their reputation is good. and old welders are less chinese than new welders.
what breaker are you using? you'd need at least 32A single phase or 10A 3 phase.

I've got 20A single phase and 16A three phase. It was working well for many years, so I'll replace the breaker, but I assume the welder is going.
Who would one contact for a rebuild? The manufacturer, or a shop?
just replace breakers with nail or piece of wire when you weld

what makes you think there's any inside?
These things are the worst china has to offer, I mean seriously, putting "hobby" and "turbo" in the name?
