You should be able to go to any local welding supply house to get a torch
and foot control that will just bolt on.
Found this post:
"Hi Rick,
The Econo twin first came out in the early 70's maybe 71 or 72, and was a
big hit with the rod burners as it had a very stable arc with a CU wound
x-former.
Very easy machine to move around because of it's small size with a nice
cylinder rack on the back of the machine.
Had a very good stable HF unit and was a great Tig machine for field work,
it's intended design. Can't remember the duty cycle but it had to be 60%
plus as I ran many 8hr days with it Tig welding SS.
I don't see why more contractors didn't use them as they were a great unit.
T_Bone"
