I have just got hold of a Miller Syncrowave 275. The story is it came from an auction house and the buyer of the lots took them to a scrap metal place rather than do anythign with them.
There was this Syncrowave and a big Dial arc which was in the skip, complete with watercooler by the time I got there.
I don't have to pay for it until I have checked if it works although I have been told that it was working fine. I got the panels off it today and it is reasonably clean inside. It was serviced 9 months ago going by the tags on it.
As it had probably been man handled out of the back of a van, there was a couple of relays lying inside. It was obvious to me though where they had come from so I stuck them back in.
There is a dodgy looking connection on the thing that looks like the hf generator.
Also, the "electroslope" panel is all bare. Grommets etc in the front look factory? The wiring is there for it all , but tied off as if unused.
Luckily,my spare torch fits it although the plug for the switch is totally different.
I don't want to have to spend out on parts just to check it's working, only to find it isn't!
Opinions on best way to proceed and/or any contacts for spare secondhand parts greatly appreciated.
