I just bought a Forney welder at an auction, and everything looks to be in good shape on it ( except the back panel ,its rusty ) The only thing I can make out on the label is the model Forney C3, and 230V. My question is, does anyone know what amp service I will need to power it. The power cord has been cut off at the back. It looks like it had a 10ga. cord, so I would guess 30 amps, but I would like to be sure. Any information would be greatly appreciated, I have some welding projects I would like to get started on.

The Forney company is still in business, located in Ft Collins, CO.
Give them a call.
Write to Forney at snipped-for-privacy@forneyind.com and ask them for a manual.

Second that. Even a 30A 220V circuit would probably be OK. Forney sells stuff in hardware stores & auto parts stores, not quite the same market as pro welders.
