I have a question about the control wire connection used by Miller (on Millermatic 175, but I assume it's the same on all their MIGs, correct?). Is the connector they use proprietary, or is it a standard connector that I could get from Mauser or some other supplier? I need the Tweco "Miller Control Wire Plug" PN MSAK-354, and the cheapest I've found it online is $24.42 plus shipping, which seems like a lot for a short low-current bit of wire. If I could find the connector somewhere, I'd like to try to make my own. Anyone know about this? Or know of a cheaper source for this Tweco part? I've already overspent my budget (bigtime) by getting the Millermatic and the Tweco #2 gun.
I looked through the Mouser catalog for a matching connector, but couldn't really be sure what I was looking for just by using the drawings and measurments.
I think next I'll try looking closely at the connector for any markings in the plastic...
Thanks, Chub
