Welding Tips and Tricks

Hello everyone
anyone know a place that repairs miller elite helmets?
i contacted miller and they dont repair unless under warranty,

thanks

Where are you located. The place where you purchased your helmet should be able to help or a Miller dealer like welders supply should probably help. What's broken on the helmet?

i'm from israel but i can ship everywhere, i got it on ebay several years ago, the miller dealers in israel will rip me a new one lol,

the lens gets real dark when trying to weld, darker then the highest shade,

​thanks

If you have to get a whole new lense which may be possible you may want to get a new helmet because a lense or he part that darkens plus your shipping from Israel will be equal to or possibly greater than a new helmet.

Truthfully I doubt that it will be repairable - warranty claims are likely just replaced with a new lens assembly.

I have a Miller elite also, it has started going through batteries more quickly than it should - I'll buy a new one when it dies.

I got it used about 3 years ago. I think it's served a fair amount of time for the money.

I'm still using it, I just have to change the batteries more often than before.
Sometimes I've changed them after only 3 days of normal use.
Other times longer.

thanks

i dont weld every day for a living.

When electronics like that fail, you're generally boned. If it can be repaired, it won't be cheap and you're probably better off just getting another ADF unit/helmet.

thanks for the replys, i just got a spedglass 9100xxi because thats what they sell here, its clearer at idle, but i like the miller headgear better,
i got mine elite about 7 years ago, and it served me well , i replaced battery's maybe 8 times,

yeah sure, a new lens wont be worth it, i wanted to repair it and have it as a backup.
