I have a Miller Elite. I had it for about 18 years now. Coin batteries hold up well. Changed head gear on it, paint is all messed up on outside. I am now having trouble with battery holders due to dry rotting and breaking. I may have to replace it soon. Its been a really good helmet for me.

I have a MM210, it about 20 years old. Have been having MIG welding issues with both steel and aluminum. The aluminum is the gun and that being deal with now. On the steel the machine was welding really horrible, it was very erratic at start of arc lots of splatter and popping. I had a repair guy look...

I did the upgrade my self. I don't think I shortened the tub by 1/16" of an inch. How important it that?

Also I have been trying to find a new tube and can't seem to find one. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement. I messed up the threads on mine fighting with burnt tips....

Hey Guys,

I did the tip upgrade and it helped some. I have the 3035 Spoolmate. I am running Profax .035 tips with 5356 wire. I don't weld aluminum as much as I do steel, but I have been welding aluminum a good bit these last few weeks. I am going through tip about every 6" of weld...

I have attached images on the contact points on the new contactor I just had replaced. Do these marks look normal for a contactor that has less than 5lb of wire run through it? When it was replaced a few weeks ago the machine welded fine then it started doing the same thing it was doing before we replaced...

I have been fighting with this machine for several month on and off. Story is I purchased it new several years ago new. It worked fine for a long time. I am a weekend welder, as stated earlier in previous post the ground was getting hot. It had poor weld quality and poor...

Well that's a good question. I am usually pretty impatient on these type of things. LOL...

Yes its a 230v machine. New/similar machine is just north of $2000.00 all in....

Hey Guys,

I have a plasma cutter, PROCUT 55 that works fine. I am looking to upgrade and was interested if anyone knew a fair asking price for it? Its was purchased years ago and been a good unit. I changed out the torch several years ago, and just recently changed out the two circuit boards...

Thanks for all the help on this issue. I looked closer into the wire and it was blackish in color and tarnished some what for the first 18" from the work clamp end. Alone with the work clamp was in bad shape. So I replaced the clamp with a brass one as suggested and replaced the wire and wire end...
