I have one that's a bit older and its a Pro Mig 135 has been flawless for close to 25 years.All Flux core wire.Speed the wire feed to cool the puddle or slow the wire speed to make it hotter.

YO4OCM says:

Cored wire can use gas. Process is numbered 136 in EU standards. It is a MAG (metal active Gas).
This is gasless FCAW, I don't know the denomination in our standards because in shipbuilding we never use it, at least in Europe that is.
ABCD should be the output voltage, you can see the switch you repaired switches different transformer taps. Current is a function of the wire speed.

David Morse says:

I once found a Miller Legend welder in a ditch. It apparently fell off of someone's truck. Had considerable damage but I was able to get it back in operation with out much expense. Still use it today.

Michael Carter says:

price was right.

Nostradamus says:

What was the uf size of the capacitor?

Jerry Farmer says:

I got free one of them. Turned out only needed a new torch and hose. Now it got argon and an internal valve and works great.

THE PUBLIC EYE says:

There are big guns with a gas valve built-in

THE PUBLIC EYE says:

Toss the rusty wire, it's no good.

Jeff Good says:

Let me guess bad diods

Matthew Lawrence says:

It’s amazing how people just won’t take a peek inside.
