    We purchased this used for $900. It needs a 100 amp wiring to get going, our 220V is on the other end of the shop. It has a cooling tank and looks like the PO was using just regular water so it has a lot of buildup.
    We bought a tank which was $500 and a regulator and need to now figure out the settings on this thing ....

    It looks real heavy duty,most of the body shops that I have worked for in middle Georgia use the larger Millers and your is large! Does it have the aluminum spool gun capabilities?:tiphat:

    haha, good one! :) no spool gun but if you open the back there is a stick welder, a torch, a lathe and a small fridge.
