Hi Guys,
Before I go to my local shop, does anyone know if a gas solenoid that is in an Eastwood welder is sourced from one of the big makers? Here is a pic: https://www.eastwood.com/gas-solenoid-f ... 75-nv.html

I had to do a few internet searches to find the capacitors I needed for the compressor.
Get the pertinent information from your solenoid (part number, model number, etc.) and Google it. Anyone selling a replacement part should pop up. Just be sure to research the supplier and check the reviews on the parts they offer. 1968 Coronet R/T

I'll look into it today. I'm hoping that that part crosses over to say a Miller or similar and I can get it locally. I know it's only $22 from Eastwood but they are out of stock right now. |
You will find plenty of them available with a variety of replacements.
Again, research is critical to getting quality parts. Lot's of Chinese knock-offs out there. 1968 Coronet R/T

I did look online but could not find anything compatible so I waited and ordered from Eastwood--came in last week. |

At least you were able to get the part.
It was not under warranty I take it? How old is the machine? Dennis B.
