Slide was cracked and the owner tried to weld it but melted it instead.

rewelding a cast frame never works out so well.

John Wayne summed it up and said it best ....

Shame, cant even be used as a nice paper-weight either.

If walther didn't make their slides from compressed robot turds there wouldn't be a problem to begin with...

It's more than just cracked now!! It could be done but with proper gas shielding, carbon strips, preheated and a mig gun. Then the inner rails would have to be re-machined. In 33 years of welding the only thing that is impossible to weld is a cast aluminum sewing machine base, that is saturated with mineral oil all the way through.
