Bought this tig

[Old Doug]

I got this last night . I got it for a little more than scrap value. I hadnt tiged any scene the early 90s and told him i would watch him weld with it but about that time someone else showed up to buy something else so i tried it. I guess its like riding a bike because i was able to lay a couple ok beads.

That looks like a pretty old machine

Exactly i didnt want to by a machine with a digital readout and a computer . I think it was built in 1973.

Miller 330 AB, white face.
Miller manuals avail online.
White face is older, I don't know exactly when they changed, but the newer panels are black face.

That machine might be old & heavy and not have as many adjustments like the new one's but it will out last them.

I cant believe how heavy it is. I need to lube up its wheels i cant hardly push it any were in the shop. One of my prodjects this weekend is to dig out a bottle to send off for it to have filled.
