Default my new welder aka the dinosaur

Well here it is its a 1972 Miller Dialarc HF-P. Bought this thing for $400 and had to buy a new torch for it other than that it had the pedal regulator and cooler with it. It also came with a conversion box to run newer style controls and a finger control which i will never use unless I'm building a cage inside a car. I have all ways wanted a tig for home and this seamed like a good deal to me. This thing is quite a step back in time from the dyansty 200dx i use all the time at work but it should get the job done for down pipes and charge pipes. Besides i really like welding with a old transformer machine as thats what i learned on.
