You could try giving either of them a call and if they did manufacture it, be sure to tell them how great MAC tools treated you because you didn't enrich one of their own salesmen by receiving possession of this welder. Wish I had better advice. You may want to retrace the power connections and insure they are correct from the supply at the wall to the welder. Check to where the power comes into the machine with a meter and see if you're getting 230 VAC to wherever the cord connects. It may be something simple.
Beyond that, I would need a schematic to take a shot at it. I highly doubt it, but if there are jumper links in the machine, make sure they're set to 230 VAC and not something else. Century machines, for the most part, are light duty rated units and not as robustly made as their US assembled counterparts (Lincoln, Miller, etc) For what the tool truck salesmen rape ppl for them, it's nothing short of a tragedy for what you get for how much you pay. IMHO of course. You say it has power, but does it have the correct power?

They look like this: If you provide a link to a schematic I can take a look at it for you. I just don't have the time to dig it up. I'll bet it's out there if you look.
I'm betting on incorrect wiring from supply to the welder. Being it's not an inverter, some systems should power up when it's turned on. I would also check for any reset breakers or fuses in the machine. Like Doug said, trace from the supply point to the welder, then start from the load side of the machine and see where and how far power is getting from there. If the problem is in that touch panel, I would just push it in a corner and buy another welder. It's not worth repairing and even if parts were available, a complete quality used machine from Miller, Lincoln or Esab could probably be purchased for a comparable cost.
I was given it before a good friend of mine that owned a transmission shop passed away, that he bought off the Mac Tool Truck. It was not used very much at all. He bought it to do modifications on his personal truck.
I took it home, which was only 3 miles from the shop that he owned. I know it worked before I got it and was very careful transporting it to my house. After getting it home I hooked it up to a 50 amp breaker in its own dedicated fuse box. After plugging it in I was not getting any power to the main touch controls on the front of the welder. They are touch, pressure buttons, not mechanical controls on the front of the machine. There are no mechanical buttons on the front. I am getting power to, and thru the transformer, up to the circuit board.
