Miller BlueStar 2E
This welder has been sitting for years. It is “AS IS” But it is a Miller and it is fixable. I think the engine is complete and running It would make a great project for a guy with some time and alittle interest. It would make a great parts machine or restore it $400, Frank 760 840-135 zero Miller Bl...

The Bug
The Bug I think this was the welder to have before Miller came on strong in the 1970s. It was made be P&H Gas Welder Generator or Chemetron. I have a manual and a parts list for it. This is sold ASIS and I think it would take some work to get it back into working condision. It generates DC and h...

The Bug - What is this thing
TheBug.jpg I am interest in what this thing is. It has a graphic " The Bug". A little “google” work tells this it may be from P&H Gas Welder Generator or Chemetron I think it might be pre 1970s, and maybe military surplus. (WWII??) What I would like is: - A manual - Any guesses for ag...

Re: Tig - What should I buy?
Hi here is the result. The welder was $850, the hood and supplies were $200, I picket up the table for $50 so I am in it for $1100 as shown. The first results show a few issues at the termination, and a bit of learning curve, but very doable. Also the quality of the weld looks good, the 2 ends are m...

Tig - What should I buy?
I have a sign shop and need to weld a few things. The demand is pretty light. I need to weld Aluminum square pipe (1X1, 2X2 and 4X4) to flanges and to other pipes. At the moment I have 4 flanges – this is pretty typical of the weekly needs. So I think I need TIG, I know that buying a huge unit is a ...
