welder/welding machine question

There is a multi pin receptacle on the front of the machine that was told to me when I bought it (brand new!) is for a spool gun. That's all I currently know
That and when we were in that store that's closing I bought a spoolmate 100 because they had it on a hell of a sale/ and told my wife to "give" it to me for Christmas.
Maybe look inside the machine and see if those pins are wired internally to the controls. If so, it might be ready to rock.
I use the spool gun for welding thicker aluminum that doesnt need to be beautiful. Comes in handy.
