Riland AC/DC TIG

[amajusiakjr]

Looking for a foot pedal for my Riland 200 AC/DC inverter TIG. It is two (2) prong plug in. The thumb control has been broken and fixed several times. Really good machine but that dand thumb control drives me crazy

Can you give us a pic of your connection?

Please.

I am sure its a simple on/off whitch but....I am not a electrician

Alot of stuff I have never seen. This set up is one of them.

There is a current Ebay listing for a 2 pin pedal with good pics, looks like a winner to me based only on the pics, there may be other considerations unknown to me:

Likely you have already done online searches. But, just in case...
