I just bought a wc1 controller with spoolmatic gun and an having trouble figuring out how to connect the control box to my mm250. Cant quite figure out how to wire in the 115v contactors. The welder does not have the spool gun module and if it's easier I also have a l-tec migmaster 250 that it could be connected to. Any help would be great, thanks!

Have you checked the hookup chart...???
You may not need the WC-1.... it may be direct connect (with the 10-Pin Module #043084)

Seems to me that if you disconnected the jumpers at #2 and #3, (CR1) you could run separate trigger wires to that CR1 at the same places you took the other ones off of. To the machines trigger ( where the existing mig gun plugs into. So you would need a simular connector like the mig has.. Plug the WC-1 in the wall, and hook up its arc cable to the positive on the feeder, then merely flip the drive wheels open on the feeder when you want to run the spool gun.
