I have a cheap Chinese wire-feed gasses welder.
It has a temp cut-off and two 10 amp fuses I run it on a 25 amp 120 outlet.
The two High/Low *1 and *2 burnt up today.
The one I'm using is a 160 I have a 130 that I used for a long time and the switches went out in that one too.
I'd like to replace them with bigger amp switches.
I don't care if they "FIT" or even if they're rocker switches, just whatever I can make work.
I don't know what they're called. There is no off position on them that's a different switch.
There just High and low, one is for low power the other is for High power, each a high/low position.
3 wires on each, tapping into different "Spots" in the welder coils transformer.

two pole? three pole?

On the switch there stamped 25a 250w and some Chinese marks.

I have looked under the brand name nothing, It looks like "mig" and "Tig" welders use a rotary setup.
Where do you think I could look?[/size]
 
Heat range switch. There are several designs, some double rocker, some single rocker, some rotary. Ebay has a lot and it's a common item for welding supply stores.
