New Millermatic 212
I've been using a Century 200 welder for the last 10+ years or so. It's worked ok but at times has a few gremlins that like to come out and torment me (wire feed, ugh). Today I went down to the local welding shop and bought a Millermatic 212 with autoset.
New Millermatic 212 Old Century 200 A test weld with the Miller. Just set it and forget it. I like it. Now instead of fighting with the gremlins in my old welder I can get some work done on my 60 Apache.

How much did you pay for your 212?

Re: New Millermatic 212
I bought a 211 a while back.Went with the LWS also.They matched the online price and gave me a break on the bottle and first fill.

Re: New Millermatic 212
I went from that very same Century to a Miller 252 last year. I had the exact same problem you are talking about. Absolutely love the Miller though, I paid 1900 tax free on a sale at AOC (a welding store down in the South).
