I have committed myself to buying a Miller Trailblazer 55G
Ebay # 290225426866
Winning bidder never paid or picked it up. I was in the owners shop
the other day, and he mentioned this..so I said if it doesnt get
squared away Id be interested.
Blink....seller called me and said it was mine.
Did I screw up, or do good? I got it for a bit less than the winning
ebay price <G>
Im going to fire it up before paying for it of course, but the guy is
trustworthy, but its been sitting for some years.
The Miller PDF says its about 1700 lbs...Gack!!!
I already have a Lincoln Ranger 9 (with a couple minor issues)...so is
this Miller something I want to keep, clean up and sell, or?
What Ive read on the net, its a pretty decent welder, with a
Continental 4 banger under the hood..but geeze.....1700 lbs??
Any commentary, suggestions etc would be appreciated. Ive never had
much experience with Big Blue, mostly Lincoln.......living in the oil
patch, most gas welders tend to be SA-200s
Thanks!

Yeah, my SAE-300 is that or better. A guy would have taken the BIN on
my eBay 260246809026 the other day but he couldn't figure out a way to
get it onto his trailer. He'd "left the noisy ramps at home", damn
him. It has 6 watchers and 333 views so far. I just left eBay a
nastygram saying that I do NOT wish to _require_ Paypal, the fidiots.
And they don't have a box for cash acceptance. <sigh>
>No one knows anything about this welder?
Sorry.
This just in:
A couple has a dog that snores. Annoyed because she can't sleep, the
wife goes to the vet to see if he can help. The vet tells the woman to
tie a ribbon around the dog's privates and he will stop snoring.
"Yeah right!" she says. A few minutes after going to bed, the dog
begins snoring, as usual. The wife tosses and turns, unable to sleep.
Muttering to herself, she goes to the closet and grabs a piece of red
ribbon and ties it carefully around the dog's privates. Sure enough,
the dog stops snoring!
The woman is amazed!
Later that night, her husband returns home drunk from being out
drinking with his buddies. He climbs into bed, falls asleep and begins
snoring loudly. The woman thinks maybe the ribbon might work on him.
So she goes to the closet again, grabs a piece of blue ribbon and ties
it around her husband's jewels.
Amazingly, it also works on him.
The woman sleeps soundly.
He wakes from his drunken stupor and stumbles into the bathroom. As he
stands in front of the toilet, he glances in the mirror and sees a
blue ribbon attached to his privates. He is very confused and as he
walks back into the bedroom, he sees the red ribbon attached to his
dog's testicles.
He shakes his head and looks at the dog and whispers, "I don't know
where we were, or, what we did, but, by God, we took first and second
place."
