If you want and win it, Ill pick it up and hold it for you. Gunner "Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire. Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us) off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give them self determination under "play nice" rules. Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you for torturing the cat." Gunner |

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. 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 http://cgi.govliquidation.com/auction/view?id=713830 GWE |

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. GWE |
