Reply:heck, offer $100.00 bucks , scrap value is worth way more and some parts if it doesnt work right...you have nothing to lose...if its been working the last 50 years it will go another 50 years...

Reply:Good call, Ed.  I was puzzled by the low input current, totally missed the "three phase" at the bottom of the label.  Duh."USMCPOP" First-born son: KIA  Iraq 1/26/05Syncrowave 250 w/ Coolmate 3Dialarc 250, Idealarc 250SP-175 +Firepower TIG 160S (gave the TA 161 STL to the son)Lincwelder AC180C (1952)Victor & Smith O/A torchesMiller spot welder

Reply:While 3phase motors are a problem I cant see why a welder transformer wouldnt work if the voltage was right.I couldnt read the name plate.Miller should have the answer.
