Can anyone tell me the pros and cons of this welder. I haven't taken

That one may...may have been made by Miller and rebadged.


Lots of Airco welders are Millers, especially the old ABPs, but this
particular one is an Esab. I own one that I picked up cheap when it was
nearly new because someone apparently liked their HF to jump at least an
inch or two. The points were opened up way beyond the spec and the
excess HF had fried a $.05 diode on the control board.
