Maxtron 300

[ChrisDaWelder]

Hey guys this is my first post. Just recently I bought a serial number KA maxtron 300. I didn't know much about this welder to start with and now I'm learning. Along with it came a newer 24V 4X4 wire feeder. I payed 700 for the set.
1 What is the age on my welder and what are the codes for telling it?
2 Is the Maxtron designed for arc welding or just mig?
3 It doesn't seem to arc weld good at all. Is this normal?
4 Is thsi a good deal or not?
Thanks

I know a guy that has a Maxtron 456? Anyway he uses it with an XRW Edge gun and feeder, and also an S22 feeder. He builds these(www.saddlestackers.com) using A Dynasty 300DX and the Maxtron. 99 % of what he does is aluminum. I think that this machine also had pulse available and was maybe a precurser to the Invision. I think that 700.00 is a great deal if everything works. You can download the manual from Millers home site.Try it out with the feeder and let us know how it works out.
