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
