Miller power supply (cp250TS), P&H wire feeder and Bernard mig gun. In 1962, that is what I learned to weld with, because that was what was available and each one blamed the other when something went wrong. Just what some of us went through in the early years of our business. JohnSMAW,GMAW,FCAW,GTAW,SAW,PAC/PAW/OFCand Shielding Gases. There all here. :

Reply:In 1965 I worked in a OTR Trailer repair shop in Nashville Tn. The local Weldingsupply house brought a wire welder out to demo it. Don't remember the brand, but it was the first one I had seen. All the old hands in the shop said it would'nt work, and refused to even try it. I tried it and liked it. It was many years later when I bought one, SP 150 , still have it. turns out the biggest reason the "old hands" did'nt like it was it took a long time to run out of wire, they would run a few rods and take a smoke break, the wire feed was just to fast for them. I have run many spools of wire since then and love the migsthe gorilla that made it hold Ranger 8 15 yrs old SP150 mig 25 yrs old several Victor sets Snap On 130 mig 25 yrs old Lincoln 225 buzz box SA200 F163 78 mdl they all work just added a Idealarc 250/250

Reply:Wow, John. I knew that CP250TS was an old design, but had no idea that model had been around since the '60's!! Mine was purchased, I believe as new, in the early 1980's. I brought home a Dialarc HF from work the other day that is just a couple years older than the CP, as best I know. The Dialarc is still working good, or at least it did the last time I used it at work. Those old machines are behemoths, but they sure were built to last forever.
