The only facility that actually does service is the one in Plymouth ... Plymouth Headquarters, 3005 Niagara Lane N., Plymouth, MN  55447.

The other locations will accept it but then send it on their next truck to Plymouth.

They said they were about two weeks behind, plus only open three days this week so I don't expect to get it back until late in January. The MIG has a DC scratch start TIG on it but I have never tried to attach the torch to the machine. Plus I'd have to plumb the argon tank to the MIG. Too much hassle.

I may say the heck with it and just use the MIG. I would have done that in the first place but this is a reasonably small piece and I think the MIG has .045 wire in it and I was not in the mood to change the wire spool, drive rollers, hose and gun to something appropriate for the work. But I have a few days off at the end of this week so I guess that's what I will do.

Just got the call this afternoon. I need to bring a truck and $2,147.48 to Toll Gas and I can have my welder back. According to them all of the main power supply components took a hike, which included the power board, two capacitors and two very robust [well maybe not so much] integrated power modules.

Anyway, they had it up, running and welding when they called.

Well that does seem a little rude. I at least expect dinner or a night out before being taken like that!

Ed, that is about what I would have expected. It's a $10,000 welder after all...

What model Miller is it?

Ed

EDIT: never mind. I found out it's a Miller Dynasty 350. The going price for a new one is about $6500.  Yikes

OK, well that puts it into perspective. How old is the welder?

You got that right. Especially after you add in the basic essentials (coolant pump, cart, etc.).
