Old Miller Welder

After looking at the pictures of this welder I realized that I bought an Airco about 5 years ago from a thrift shop for $50 that is a dead ringer except that it was yellow. Don't know if it was built by Miller for Airco or by Airco for Miller.
I gave it to my brother about a year and a half ago and he is still using it.

Boilt by Miller for Airco. Miller made a lot of equipment for Airco in their time.

osumecheng,

Tooldude is correct your machine was built in the second half of 1962. The M-180 is very similar to the current Miller Thunderbolt, just a basic stick welder.

Old Miller

I have an old miller stick welder that I was wondering how old it was. I posted a couple of pics and I also have the serial number. It is L240144. I just thought I would see if anyone knew anything about it.

Morning, I had the twin, and it came with the co. I bought 27 years ago,and it was old then, ran 1/8 jet,great, When i sold my commercial building, I sold alot of some of the older equip, I could not get 50 bucks for it, ending up cutting it apart, and scrapping the copper, made about 125 bucks in scrap, Jack
