This is the one I have. https://www.ebay.com/itm/204359684872?chn=ps&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&amdata=enc%3A1yL74Y3goSV25d-tfX8qBEg90&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=204359684872&targetid=1587268787897&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9026906&poi=&campaignid=19894961968&mkgroupid=148855406073&rlsatarget=pla-1587268787897&abcId=9307911&merchantid=764139580&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIzPLom7GnhAMVjjLUAR1iWQY9EAQYHiABEgK8_PD_BwEI've had it for probably 30 years or more now.It is not made anymore. It charges the battery while welding. Speedglass make similar now.

Save phace has me concerned how good they are.  https://www.ebay.com/b/Save-Phace-Welding-Helmets/92090/bn_77117241     I did email them to check on their business status. They quit making the buggy masks a while back but it seems they might be back?

Controls and Electrical / Hi tq starters
« Last post by dsrace on February 12, 2024, 01:16:20 PM »
Currently run a hi tq 101n 1.4 kw starter. They do make a 2.0kw version of it but the motor is 2" longer. This starter was on my megasand e box trans. 10% of the time it missed, wound up taking the edge off a few flywheel teeth. Hi tq says their pinion gear is made out of a weaker alloy then flywheel teeth so that doesn't happen. I told him that it did happen so must have been a drop in alloy quality at kep. 

The reason I am posting this is because, vw based trans, using kep adaptor systems, standard key adaptor flywheels, the 2 common measurements are 35mm to 45mm depth to the face of the flywheel teeth. That from  the starter mounting surface to the face of the flywheel teeth. The guy at hi tq told me to measure this as they will machine the nose of the starter for an exact fit.

I had no idea they did that there, might be helpful information for others, I know the wear pattern on my starter was only  1/8" to 3/16" engagement into the teeth.

I have a speedglas auto dark. Obsolete now but has only needed new button batteries 1 time in 15+years. I keep good/clean inner and outer lenses . Very compact and close fitting to the head for excellent tight space use.  Save-phase also makes one that was almost identical to our save-phace masks. Very close fitting.

Post a link up to the one you use. Didnt know save place made them.

My old helmet, it didn't clear that quick once the weld had stopped. This one has an adjustment for just that. The old one , I would have to lift my helmet to see what kind of bead I just put down and to see what I was starting. This new helmet is so clear I do t have to lift my helmet for either reason.

What brand/ type of welding helmet did you get?

Don't laugh  :m
I bought it 5 or 6 years ago. My other one was sprayed with some slag and it hit the inside and danced on the inner lens. I cleaned it up and keep the shields replaced. The old on has 3 settings, a titanium bluish purplish color lens when off, a green hue when on and while welding. Reminds me of the green color in glass coated with a solar deflecting.  For that reason i kept it at #10 darkness which is to bright for most people. i simply cannot see what im welding at any darker setting. Any Darker setting and i had to get so close to what i was welding it killed outer cover quick. It was a Miller auto darkening I bought apprx 15 to 18 years ago. When I purchased the new millmatic welder, I got a $100 voucher. They had new Miller helmets with a slightly larger view screens, about an inch taller and wider. 4 corner sensors and 4 settings. Didnt like the fact they use large dia watch like batteries either. The color is far better for myself, so much I can run it at #12 on darkness and still see well.  There is a 3rd strap across the head with its own adjustment, more comfortable and the helmet itself covers a tad more of my bald head down lower under the chin. I don't have any pics nor do I know the brand, but I can look tonight.
