No another up all nighter just not on line. I have to be up by 8 AM left coast time, to bed by 1 AM on average not by choice.
Used Miller 250 Synchrowaves come up once in a while, 350's rare as hell again as you stated you had better know your machines at testing time.
A cap in the PC board the only thing that can fail over the years with Syncs but can be repaired rather cheaply. Miller's tech / repair facility within 10 miles from me plus the tech a very close friend of 20 plus years. We worked up my 350 billing list vs 250.
A almost basic 350 comes with many items that a 250 offers as optional, a option loaded 250 was nearing a 350 in price years ago hence the 350 upgrade. One must be able to feed it as full power without correction caps is 131 amps, with optional caps 101 amps 240 volt @ 385 amp output. Way over the top unless 1/2" aluminum one pass is your thing, arc heat goes right thru your leathers. I found a good used 250 for a friend $385 total cost by the time it was plugged in, I wired in a receptacle at his big garage / shop.
When a good one comes up used they go quick, Sync owners rarely let one go.
