Colbramatic, What's it good for

[AGCB97]

I've come across a Colbramatic unit and don't really know anything about it. Would someone explain what/how it is used and what other type of equipment is necessary to use it.
I can get it for cheap.

This is an older one. I assume it hooks to some other sort of welder. What kind of welder could that be?

 

[benmychree]

They are for weak wire that does not push through long MIG feed equipment, like aluminum, they are lighter and more compact than spool guns.

 

[AGCB97]

But it must need to hook to a welder (power supply), What kind? Does it have to be a MIG?

 

[AGCB97]

Can a stick welder be used for the power source?

 

[benmychree]

No, definitely not, it needs a MIG power supply

That's what I was looking for! Thanks

So, would this work with a Eastwood MIG 250? Would it be as good/better than a spool gun?
Thanks
