    New 1987 MM 200

    I went to a retirement sale and the guy sold me a barely used MM200 for $350.00

    I bought one back in 1987 and after having it for about 9 years I decided to upgrade to a Miller 250X and boy was I disapointed so they took it back and gave me the Millermatic Vintage which was leaps and bounds better than the
    250X.

    I havent used it yet but I know what a great machine it was, as far as I'm concerned its just as good as any new one out, Infact my old one had more sweet spots than even the newer Vintage.
    ( Keep in mind, I'm talking a welder in the same class 250 amp single phase )

    Great score...

    The MM200 is a great classic machine, duty cycle rated equal to a MM252....

    Kept mine... even though I have a MM350P....

    The MM200 is a well kept secret....

      You got a killer deal. Every time I think of "upgrading" mine, the pros on the sites tell me I'm nut. Arguably the best mig Miller ever made-this is what I've been told.

      I bought mine last yr for $299 with the spot panel and a working Spoolmatic for $299. I put about $400 into it between paint, delivery, a new Q300 gun and tips rollers. I'm still ahead of the game.

        Would not part with mine. Still have the original torch. Could not tell you how many hundreds of spools that it ate up.

          The only down fall that the machine had was the manual plug to switch from high to low would get hot and melt when doing some heavy duty welding. So every once in a while i'd have to change the plug.

            That's right. I forgot about that.

                They will have to pry my MM200 from my cold dead hands.

                  I gladly gave up a MM 200......in trade for a Syncrowave 250
                  Plus I got the MM 200 for free and put under a 100 in it
