Miller Maxstar 210 STR - the penguin - 12-21-2019

My trusty (until now) Miller Maxstar 200 apparently had finally reached its expiration date. The cooling fan blade had exploded with the resulting shrapnel, becoming imbedded into a circuit board, the repair cost exceeded the value of the 15+yr old inverter welder. so it was replaced with a new Miller Maxstar 210 STR, basically an upgraded model of the old welder. A 210 amp DC stick inverter welder, that’s 120-480 vac single phase or 208-230/480 vac 3 phase welder, with Auto-link, that weighs about 33#. Hopefully this will be as durable as the old one, the life of a welder in a service van, is rough, large temperature swings, bouncy ride and dirty boiler rooms, has to take is toll.
