I have an old 300 amp Airco heliwelder that I got from my grandpa and right now it doesn't have a foot pedal so I have to scratch tig everything. Does anyone know where I could find one? The model# is 3a/ddr-225hpa/b-sd, serial# he817638. Any help would be appreciated.

Trying to find a TIG foot pedal for old Airco welder
Try usaweld.com. Call then up and ask. They can usually build it if they don't stock it. -
Photo of your unit would help.
Seems to be simlar to the Miller 330A/BP series.
These welders used the old remotes with 2 separate 3 conductor cords.
One cord was for the contactor and the other cord was for the current control.
Each cord had a twist-lock type plug on the end.
Bad news is that the remote used a 5 ohm, 150 watt ceramic rheostat for the current control.
The newer aftermarket remotes are not compatible.
Might find one on ebay.

If it looks like mine (pic attached), it's actually a Miller 330 abp and uses the same foot control.
I see them on ebay on occasion."Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance." ~George Bernard Shaw~
