Hi - I just looked at a couple of second hand welders - one is an XMT 304 - when powered it shows help 7 & sometimes help 9 -will show some figures on digital read out but has no output on any setting -any ideas if this is worth anything regarding getting it fixed up ( there is a very old tatty Hobart suitcase wire feeder with it - not been used since the ark was built though ! - ( I'm in the UK so not too many choices on dealers ) the other is a Thermal Arc 400 GMS - that fired up fine - not had a chance to play yet - looked a good basic machine ( and it was cheap ! )- anyone have an opinion on them - is it worth looking for a spool gun as mine is an ancient general Electric stand alone thing that is'nt that great plus takes oddball consumables.
Help codes on manual page 28.

If the codes are right and it can be solved using different power input then maybe it's worth a shot.
Repairs can be prohibitively expensive and I know nothing about availability overseas.

Thanks - I thought they were more valuable but found 2 in excellent condition on Ebay around £400 - guess over here that model is'nt fancied - be different if it was a dynasty ! think I'll leave it alone - you don't many Miller spares or service for £400. shame though - don't think the voltage is the issue - we don't have options on 3phase - it's always the same.
