Unknown welding aperatus.

To my untrained eye, looks like some sort of tig-esque thing.

Anyone ever see anything like this, or know anything about it?

Never seen anything like that for tig welding. Could you add a few more pictures?

After some closer inspection, I believe you would clamp your stick welder rod holding jaws onto the knurled bit. There is some evidence of arcing there.

I cant imagine being able to make a very nice weld with this. Functional, sure.... pretty? Ehhh...


Cant figure the tire valve thingermajiggerwob on there, less it was just to plug that hole in the regulator, making a plug with what was on hand.

Kinda of like this setup, but a bit more "crude".

Looks like a regulator for gas.

It's certainly a custom rig. It was a gas regulator that was probably modified to TIG using a stick welder.

Its a store bought rigging, but there are no names on it. Cept for the regulator obviously Craftsman.
The on/off valve is flippen stiff, doesnt seem to be getting any easier after moving it.
Might see about getting some argon and seeing what kind of chicken poop welds I can do with this
