Revamping a cool Miller syncrowave 300

I bought a syncrowave 300 machine that was a trainer machine
Used at the old Martin Marietta facility that made the booster rockets for the
Space shuttle. I hade the old massive tig torch setup on it. Kind a neat machine
With a cool piece of history attached to it. I have had for a few years
And I decided to get it updated to a new ck torch set up
And service the coolant system. I plan on fabricating more aluminum
Projects. I'm a Boilermaker by trade and have
Years of experience with carbon and SS work. Now
I'm a newbie again with aluminum work.

Great machines. The only bad is its a transformer and eats electricity. I had a Syncrowave 200 and my electric bill was huge...got rid of it when I got a 210 inverter and I don't even notice any increase. The 250 and the 300 are supposed to be bullet proof. Cool story that goes with it. Have fun!
