I thought I'd give you an update on the Bobus Catus since it has been reborn.
All is well. It was load tested and, once adjusted, it was about a half volt and an amp away from spec'd max. in all modes. The repair guy was impressed...as was I.
It tested out steady and strong with no variations.
I have also picked up a used 8VS feeder for it. I am having trouble on CV with it, but it kicks butt on CC with either flux core or solid with C-25. As you predicted way back when, the voltages are high, but manageable. No, I will not be running any 24 ga with it.
I should be ok on 16 ga to 3/8, though. IMO, that isn't a bad range for a field work wire feeder.
Here are some pics.
1) Rigged on truck
2)Feeder ( it isn't pretty, but it works...plus, inside it is pristine!
