My Blueweld M22B is rather different inside but similarly chunky in the component dept.
Better have a look soon...

The large round yellowy-gold thing in the middle will be the rectifier stack, converts the AC into DC which is essential for MIG. The thing marked T1 at the bottom is the main transformer.

The 2x devices on the alloy plate to the left are likely to be the switching devices that turn the transformer on and off, probably Triac's of some description, never seen them in that style of package before.
