My old Lincoln I knew quiet well. what differences should I expect? From the few Syncrowaves Ive used..arcs are "harsh"..and you will burn through when you least expect it. Your old machine was one of the most forgiving welders Ive ever used..so stay on your toes when you first fire her up. Remember the old Idealarcs? They had a setting that was almost as harsh as a Syncrowave...cant remember what it was..but it could be brutal when working on thinner stuff. (under 1/4"!!) You will do just fine..just get to know the old girl before doing something for your brother in law. (Grin) At least you didnt buy a Syncrowave 250 Dx..those (some) were really problem children https://www.google.com/search?q=miller+syncrowave+tig+arc+problems&rlz=1C 1AVNG_enUS636US637&oq=miller+syncrowave+tig+arc+pr oblems&aqs=chrome..69i57.16323j0j4&sourceid=chrome &es_sm=0&ie=UTF-8 Gunner |
