You just saved me 200 bucks$. I f____up my connector, twisted off the wires. (senior moment). So had to solder wires back to the connector. Wasn't sure what went where but I could see the remnants of the colored insulation all except one. I did it but nothing worked when I got it back together so I figured I miswired it. But you showed me the schematic and I actually did it correctly!!! (amazing!) So now I know my problem is likely a power problem. Thanks, I was going to buy another pedal. I know my pedal is ok thanks to you.
Thank you tons. I was about to pry those side pins out to g3t the thing apart. If I have anymore questions about electronics I may ask, you seem quite knowledgable and a natural. Take care.
Excellent. Thank you for this detailed video with the resistance reading. I'm trying to figure out which pedal I can used with my 1970's era Lincoln TIG-300/300 which uses a 10K panel mounted control, meaning I would need a 10K pedal and now I know the K870 has a 10K pot. All I would need to do is replace the 6 pin with a 5 pin Amphenol.
Wow, took me a while to make no headway only to see your video and discover the way to open the foot control is a no-brainer. Thank you so much. God bless you
Just purchased a welder through facebook and it does not work. Seller deleted his account and disappeared. Tig welder would not ignite , but would in stick mode. Since I am also service/troubleshoot electronics (alarm/cctv) quick analysis lead me to look at pedal. Found your video when searching for schematic for a pin out. Issue was wires broken in the connector. So &^((*^ him and thank you.... Now have a working welder for cheap.
I wonder what size the capacitors are and what the purpose of them is. I'm building a hand control and wasn't aware of those. Thanks for sharing the great info, you seem like a very nice dude.
when I unscrewed my connecter it looked like it was twisted to hell and some of the pins didn't even have wires to them. is that what yours looks like?
I doubt it. I came to this video because when I was disconnecting my pedal, I turned the wrong part of the barrel connector and twisted the shit out of the wire and broke most of the solder connections like you're describing. Thank god for you tube! I was just trying to find a trustworthy wiring diagram for it and the TimeSpider finally helped me discover the "no brainer" location of that. Now to solder the new barrel connector on. Thanks, dude!

Your welcome..... Don't you hate that
Have A groovy day

This just happened to me
A little late, but THANK YOU. I was Googling how to troubleshoot my TIG welder, and your video came up. It didn't dawn on me to check my pedal, DOH!
Excellent information, understanding the pedal on Lincoln. Thumbs UP

Potentiometer resistor value?
This is where you can find the connectors...
