Does Miller have a repair service for the board? If not, their attitude
is: "You can't get a new board & we won't fix it, so the welder is junk"?


They weren't given any options for any price from what I understand. I
didn't find anyone selling the board nor any place offering to repair
it (neither did he). The main circuit board is still available for ~$510
and I found at least four places with offers to repair that board. It
seems the main board is also used in the Syncrowave. Probably why it is
still available...

Kind of sad, the machine is circa 1996.

I'm not so sure it is really bad. I'm having problems with the main
circuit board too. Without seeing how the two boards interface together
I wouldn't yet condemn it...
