Found this on craigslist. It sort of looks like a Miller emblem right above the D in Dual but I cant tell for sure. Anybody recognize it?

that welder sells at harbor freight brand new for 299. If you are set on that one I would wait till they have a sale and get it cheaper. My guess is he got it one sale and is now trying to make a quick buck. I have a lincoln mig welder 110v and it has more duty cycle and is good to 5/16" steel and i only payed 350 for mine. And i like it cause you can take it anywhere and not have to realy on a 220v plug in.

Yep a HF welder.

FYI I do not know if you have Murdocks supplies in your area but they have Clarke 130 AMP Mig welders for 299.00 which in an equivalent Lincoln or Hobart that would be 550 or more. Includes Mig gas regulator and a nice cart. My friend has had the same welder on his farm for a long time and swears by it for small to medium stuff.

My mom got me that welder for christmas for 219.00 I was going to just keep it since it was a gift from my mom but it didn't even work out of the box. I just ended up getting a refund and waiting a bit till I can get a good one.
