Antique (real old) miller gas powered welder

go to see Welding Machine for Antique (real old) miller gas powered welder

One of these, actually this one, is for sale on Craigslist.  It doesn't run.  Does anyone know what model number and rough age it might be.  It is a couple of hours drive away and I would like to know more about it before I go look.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. Attached Images
Replyooks like AIRCO color but it was made by Miller.  It has a Onan engine, probably AC only output. Not worth much, if you really need a welder, keep lookingSent from my iPhone using TapatalkSteveMiller Dialarc 250 (1990)Miller Maxstar 140 STR (2003)Lincoln SA200 Redface Pipeliner (1966)Lincoln MP210 (2015)Victor and MECO torches
Reply:I agree not worth much.  It would have to be running and FREE to warrant a two hour drive IMO. I recently got this Acklands branded Miller AC/DC that ran well, welded and generated power. I paid $150 Cdn delivered to my yard and it had 100 feet of 1/0 cable with Tweco twist locks and a full tank of gas. *warning.   Not a pretty sightIt was worth the money for the 1970 Chev Malibu hood.  :

Reply:Machine might not be as bad as it looks, but that’ll be a long wasted driveif you get there and find out that the engine is trashed(or needs some expensive Onan parts)and the wire insulation in the welder is falling off.Isn’t that an AC-DC machine?(two sets of output connectors,one connector looks like it was red).Miller a/c-d/c Thunderbolt XLMillermatic 180 Purox O/ASmith Littletorch O/AHobart Champion Elite
Reply:I agree it looks like AC DC.If I had the welder and the engine need a lot of I would replace it with a low cost Predator engine.

Reply:I missed it too, but it still doesn’t change my mind. It makes it better if it runs and welds. Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkSteveMiller Dialarc 250 (1990)Miller Maxstar 140 STR (2003)Lincoln SA200 Redface Pipeliner (1966)Lincoln MP210 (2015)Victor and MECO torches
