Welder questions
I guess there are some pro welders here.
I have taken possesion of a Miller Model 250 AC/DC single phase 220/440
machine. Unknown age, serial # S415860. It's not a dialamatic, here's a
shot
http://tinyurl.com/2j943
It's a big dog, 23 in high x 19 wide x 41 long
Any idea what is a fair offer to the owner?
Is this machine suitable for attachment of a TIG high-freq device?
What could that cost?
Thanks

Re: Welder questions
Post this over on sci.engr.joining.welding where the real experts
hang out!
If you have the rest of the model number, you can get the
instruction manual on-line at
http://www.millerwelds.com/service/ownersmanuals.php
This is a nice commercial quality unit, '60s IIRC. Check to make
sure the DC diodes are still intact. Easist way is to fire it on
both AC and DC and see if the power output is similar. Other than
the diodes, pretty much bulletproof.
Reasonable price would be a low few hundred dollars. I don't see
any cables or helmet with it. #2 copper cables, stinger, ground
clamp, and helmet will run $100 or so.
I would not add the TIG to it, just too many additional goodies
to add and you still won't have the foot pedal amperage control.
If it works, it is a nice unit for stick welding.
