Amp control pedal for smiley TIG
 
I searched and read through most of the results for the SMILEY TIG search, but nothing specific on anyone making a pedal control for it. I'm looking at getting the 30a version, but no luck with a pedal setup.

I've seen the thread for the Harbor Freight unit, but nothing for the smiley.

I'm in the process.

I was going to buy one from here:
http://www.ssccontrols.com/homepage-...ercontrols.htm

But I got a lot of scrap metal so I'm doing a variation of this first:

Was going to use N64 flight pedals but the one I got from ebay for 1.99 were simple micro swicthes and not variable potentiometers.
