At this point, I'll no doubt contact Miller and see what their techs have to say.
I abhor planned obsolescence!!!!

Miller Intellitig 4 Precision Tig Controller

Anyone have any info/experience with Miller's Intellitig 4 Precision Tig Controller ?
I am aware that they are not made anymore, but the little information I could find, seemed like this could be a worthwhile addition to my hobby shop.

Miller foot pedal

I have a Miller XMT 304 CC/CV. It takes a (14) pin connection for the remote connection. Can someone please tell me if I can somehow adapt a Miller RCFS-14 foot pedal with a (5) pin plug?
Is it simply a matter of changing the plug end, or is it more complicated?

Thanks
