Miller Gold Star Tig, Chicaco area $800

That's what I have. Mine was $800, got it with a water cooler but I had to get the parts for the torch, an Argon flow regulator, and a hose for the water cooler.

Thats a pretty nice machine!

Oops, wrong machine, my mistake, mine is the Model 330A/BP, all the other specifications looked about the same.

This is more like mine:

There are more adjustments than it looks like, has a post flow timer, HF intensity, Start circuit, all under the front panel.

Ive bought and sold those older Millers, like yours, for less than $400. While they seem to work and keep working, they are "cosmetically" challenged.

Oh..before I forget.... I have one of these, complete with the MIG gun and spooler, ready to rock and roll

For less than the price this guy wants.

And its in better looking condition..Minty minty.

3ph however....shrug.

THIS is what I use in my shop..and its a Damned FINE welder. Ive been tickled shitless from the very first day I got it, 8 yrs ago.

Of course mine came completly setup for Tig, Bernard, etc etc.

Its big....shrug..so its not "portable"..but its been sitting in the same place next to both my tig table and my regular big welding table for all that time, and Ive never found a need to move it around.

Id say that machine is as good as, or better than any equivelent Miller or Lincoln welder on the market today.

I dont know who the original manufacturer was, Id love to find out.

Airco tended to rebadge other peoples machines, from what I understand.

I've heard there is over 200lb of copper in them and scrap value is supposed to be over $600 but I haven't gotten scrap copper prices locally. If I could buy them for less than $400, sell a couple of parts and get $600 for copper, that sounds interesting.
