Don't know if this helps or not, but for what it is worth...
Are you sure it was made in Chicago, or could it have been "distributed" by
a Chicago company? The reason I ask is because in the early years of "home
use migs" (mid 80's) many of the early ones were coming out of England.
(fortunately not made by Lucas). It has metric threads on somethings and
different color (or should I say colour since it is English) codes on the
wiring. If I get to the point where I need a new hose and trigger, I know I
am screwed or more likely, I'll have to make some sort of adapter.
