Seems like most pinball repairs could be done with a TIG welder. I do my repairs with a MIG and it does good if I turn the settings down.

Quoted from HighVoltage:Are you doing gas-less welding? Not sure if that's actually an option with a MIG welder but seems to be for TIG welders. If you are, what model do you use?
I have a 110V Lincoln MIG welder. It has settings on the front (dials) for wire feed speed and amperage. The side has a chart for the settings depending on the wire size you are using and the thickness of the metal you are welding.
Quoted from HighVoltage:What kind of pinball work have you done with it? Anything similar to this?
Yep I've welded broken scoop tabs with it and wireform ramps. It usually takes a bunch of grinding down after welding but most often you never see it after it's installed.
