Yeah, it's kind of luck of the draw as to what you get in the heater, now 50 years later. Experimenting with the cannibalized unit, I felt it better to lead the slots. Also for me, my MIG doesn't do well on the lower settings. If I had a TIG welder, this wouldn't have been an issue.
Once primered and sanded, you won't be able to tell.
