I have a Paulson Welder. I purchased it from a retired jeweler and watch repairman about 35 years ago. He probably purchased it right after world war II. I have had it sitting on a shelf all this time. It is really an electric soldering machine used for soldering silver and gold jewelry. It is an interesting machine and I am thinking of resurrecting it for small resistance silver soldering purposes. I am familiar with resistance soldering, owning a small resistance unit and having built a couple of units using the carbon rod from a D cell battery. The Paulson uses a larger carbon rod. I have spoken with several welders about obtaining carbon rods. They know nothing about the system. I have not contacted a welding supply company as of yet but wondered if anyone on this forum is familiar with resistance soldering and where rods may be obtained.
