Recommendation? Looking for a place to find information about welder repair.

[Storm W]

I have never been active on any welding forums or followed up on the online stuff for welding in the last several years. Does anyone know where I might be able to find info to repair my welder? It's a ESAB and it's hard to find info or a full service dealership. I'm having problems with the pulse system for welding aluminum on a ESAB Caddy Tig 2200i T34 I think.

I was looking for forums more than anything. I didn't realize that they are still being made. They are now a $5,000 machine and money is tight. I was hoping that maybe someone who had one might have a idea about how to fix it that didn't cost to much. I was thinking about swapping down to a cheaper machine since I am not going to do industrial work anymore to free up some cash. I can't really afford to spend money to have it repaired. I know a lot of guys have been looking for machines lately and was hoping someone might have some good resource to ask some questions.

I gotta ask:
You are a 30 year veteran welding inspector/instructor and you don't know anything about this?
