Miller Tig welder, old, 330A, $150

[mike944]

Hey guys. I have an old (70's or early 80's vintage) Miller 330A welder. I think 330A is the model. I think the max amperage is up in the 450 range.

The good: It's one of those old, indestructable welders, and it's really cheap. $150 The bad: It's large and heavy, and it's missing the foot control (it CAN be used without it, and they're available on ebay) Missing the tig torch, and it's missing the metal casing around the outside. It might also be 3-phase, but i'm not sure. I don't know if it works or not, but it does not smell burnt.

Hartford, CT. Pickup only. No shipping, it's really heavy.

Damn if only it wasn't only the other side of the country.

it's a fantastic deal for someone local who has the space. A 450 amp Miller welder for $150...... A great power source for major stick welding too.

Good welder and it was a staple in the manufacturing industry for decades -- BUT it needs a large circuit (in the 75-100 AMP range -- even for medium duty work).

If you knew it worked , or could test it; it would be an absolutely smokin deal. As it is, the ad says moving and it's missing parts, and, and, and,.............I would pass, pig in a poke!

For me to be seriously tempted to buy it, the price would have to be around $50.00!

Well, i guess i could steal a power lead, and other parts off our working one to test it out. Maybe i'll do that this weekend.

Thanks,
