If you want and win it, Ill pick it up and hold it for you.

Thanks! I wonder if the serial number is painted over in reality or just washed
out of the photo in Photoshop. The SN is very important when you have a Miller
unit, without it you are wandering in the wilderness when it comes to parts. I
bet they've had that DialArc production line running for 45 years with probably
50 design revs. I know the DialArc machine at South Seattle really well, it
doesn't look like this one, or the one I looked at the other day, and this one
doesn't look quite like the one I saw the other day .. I'll keep an eye on that
auction. Be a lot easier to hump it up here if it were off that pedestal,
probably come off with 8 bolts.


Ayup..the one pictured is essentially the one I have under the welding
bench. About 350 lbs.

Incidentally, the military up here is about to burp and disgorge a wealth of
Miller TIG/stick bank units, model MOG-400A, onto the surplus market. Each bank
has 6 welding machines, each auction has 2 banks. They will probably go for
close to $35, so that would be an astonishing $3 per Miller welder .. see

What the hell are they, and how do they work???

One of the very cool things about Miller is you can download manuals. The link
for this particular item is http://www.millerwelds.com/om/o808f.pdf

I took a quick look and decided very rapidly to pass.
