millermatic 200 price

[Luke87]

Alright guys got a Millermatic 200 lined out if I want it gonna go look at it tomorrow, gotta drive 130 miles to get it which ain't too big of a deal. I've read these are good machines and weld excellent. Think its a fair deal but not sure, guy said it welds good with no problems and he had a makita chop saw to throw in with it as well. He wants $950 and here are the details. Milltermatic 200 Unit comes with 33 lbs of .035 wire, 75/25 argon bottle, flow gauge regulator, and 50' of 220 V lead, so you can move the welder that amount of distance when welding. Tweco idustrial gun. He will hook it up so I can weld with the unit and see how nice it welds, and rarely gives any trouble.He was a painter , so there is some overspray on the machine, but will come off. Guy said hes selling for a woman welder belonged to her husband and he died, he does not know if it is a owned or leased bottle. Also it is a white face model. I've attached the picture. If it don't look good I'm thinking about just stopping at northern tool and picking the ironman 230 up putting what money I have down and financing the rest. Thinking about offering $850 or is that still too much. Thanks for your thoughts

Great price no. Bad deal no. Would i buy it no, to old, obsolete. Look for a 251, newer parts will be around a long time and easy to sell if you want to upgrade.

Don't forget the 50 ft. extension cord. 8/3 wire maybe $2.50/3.00 ft.

If that's what your looking for & need then buy it. You could wait for a better deal but it might not come along. If you buy new figure the cost of a bottle also. These machines are old but good. See if you can find out what kind of enviroment it was in.

Just a point of interest the MM200 has a duty cycle more like the MM252 than the MM212.
So where exactly were you going to say this welder is?Haha.

Got it for $850 with the chop saw and 5 blades as well. Got tired of looking. It's in great shape, inside is in superb shape has a little overspray on the one side because guy was a painter. He even kept a light in the panel all the time to keep humidity out of it. Welds smoother and nicer than any mig welder I have ever touched I love the way it welds. Only thing I do not like about it is the gun works good but it is a old tweco with a gun and only a 10' cord, I'll probaly be looking for a adapter to put a newer 15' tweco or bernard on it. Also do not like the loud fan being on all the time thinking about putting a switch or thermostat on it. Overall I'm pretty satisfied with the welder especially with how it welds, may of paid too much may have not I don't know and don't care just glad to have a mig in my shop again.
