    Beta-Mig 200 stops welding, won't feed wire

    Hi,

    I bought an old Beta Mig 200 welder off eBay and drove out to PA last night to pick it up. The serial # is 81ws19275. I got home late last night and haven't put a new plug on to power it up. The guy I bought it from said he used it for a few years, then it quit on him and wouldn't feed wire any longer. When you pull the trigger it just clicks and won't feed wire. He put a new liner in it, and maybe did some other things to it but I don't know what. It's dirty as all get out, it came out of a corner of his barn and the case looks kinda sad but if I can get it working I am going to repaint it. The 5 lbs of dead bugs and dust was free at least

    This is my first welder so any help on where to start looking would be appreciated. I'm in the Akron, OH area if that helps.

    Thanks,
    Patrick
