[Shop-talk] Thanks and new question about welding helmet.

[Scott Hall]

Eric,

I assume it's the sensor on the helmet, or the internal wiring.

My main thought about those (helmets) is that I don't like to screw around
with them--that's your eyesight.  Either send it to Hobart for repair, or
replace it would be my vote.
