Well worth trying to get them going, should be reasonable machines, tig is 240 volt so I presume the plasma will be the same.....

You've nothing to worry about "across the pond"

[zzr1200]

I'd at least have the covers off, blow the insides out and check for loose connections/burnt crimp connectors.
