I picked up what I assume is a welder. It has no markings, I popped it open I see a variac, two large caps, and a transformer. There is a valve on the back for gas. Limited research tells me its a pulse arc welder

I assume this is a dc rig that needs a tungsten electrode.

Please set me straight and advise me where and what you would suggest I need. From what I have googled up it seems like I could use a stationary electrode but I have yet to find a supplier. I'm also curious as to using nitrogen instead of argon.

Could something like this be what I need?

if so any recommendations wire gauge needed

I have near zero welding experience. I do miniatures and could see this being useful. I see intro jewlers rigs going for $150. Can I get something useful going for less with what I have?

Any help is appreciated

Must be more than an arc welder if its got a gas valve on it.
Whats in the wooden box?

Cheers Phil
 
Yes it does. Just not commonly used in conjunction with a welder
 
....also useful would be a picture of the "faceplate" ....there are labels there, just cannot read them in your first picture.

welder head
power adjust
on "light"
power

I hope these gut pics are what is needed to ID
