Looking for a Miller mig welder

[XJ_Rudolph]

Hey guys, im looking for a solid miller mig welder, preferably a millermatic 180 autoset. Has to be a 240ish volt one if its not the 180. Let me know what you guys have or if you know any who doesnt want theres!! Also looking for a big tank on the cheep, iv got a small co2 tank iv just got to trade in but the bigger the better!!

I seen a couple set ups in the bay area with tanks for 500 bucks or you can go pay 650 700 brand new from home depot

I feel for you. I spent the better part of 3 months looking for a decent Miller mig in the bay area. People wanted almost retail for a beat down welder. 240v Millermatic mig welders in good condition for a reasonable price are few and far between. I was set on the 180 but didn't want to pay retail, wound up driving to Sac and buying an older roll around model 210 for more than the new 180. Couldn't be happier. Be patient, and wait for the right deal to come along. The good stuff disappears off of cragislist quickly so check regularly if you really need one soon.

Good to know!! And yea iv got email alerts for the sf bay area so I can stay on top of at least the bay area, but im checking every craigslist from the bay to tahoe to find one.

Its one of those things where if i dont find one before iv got enough cash to buy a new 211 i wont hesitate to drop the cash on a new one. But i mean in reality i hope i find a used one so I can buy more fab gear.

I paid almost twice that, but mine looks brand new. For $600 and 2 spool guns, might be worth taking the drive down. I would need to see it burn some thick plate before handing over any cash.

I bet you could get it for 500$ too.
