OK wish me luck guys. I bought a broken Miller Plasma Cutter today for $100. Spectrum 2050. The thing looks cosmetically perfect, but does not work. Previous owner claimed they took it to a welding shop and they couldn't figure out what was wrong and basically dicked them around for about a month, and they gave up on the thing. It's being picked up from my local welding shop by the regional Miller Service facility next Tuesday. Anything less than $1,000 repair and I figure I'm way ahead of the game....but I just don't think these things are that complicated. I'm keeping my fingers crossed....cause it's time to build bumpers. Worse case, if it's not fixable, it will go on eBay, and probably still make me some money.
If it works, this is a 55 amp machine than can clean cut 7/8"...although probably more like 1/2" on the dryer outlet I use for 220v. It can sever 1-1/4". Lists for $2,899. Kind of overkill for Jeep stuff....I had really been looking for a used Miller 625.
