It should be possible to salvage the welder, just be sure that it is perfectly clean, AND dry before switching it on. Tis worth giving it a quick blow over with compressed air, & a bit of a clean down with some contact cleaner spray, especially over the electronic control module, and reostat control on front, then leave it sit to dry out properly in the sun for at least a week
If you was over on the East Cost, I'd offer to whack it in one of the drying ovens at work for a few days.
