Spent $300 on a used Miller 211 and it paid for itself in one job

Picked up a beat up Miller 211 off Craigslist two months ago for 300 bucks. Needed a new liner and some cleaning but it runs solid now. Used it to patch a grain bin wall last week and saved the farmer about 1200 versus a replacement. The 110/220 dual voltage has been a lifesaver for tight spots. What's the cheapest welder you've gotten that actually held up?

My buddy Mike snagged a busted Lincoln 180 off FB Marketplace for 75 bucks. Replaced the contactor and drive rollers, been running great for two years now.

Did you have to do any work on the drive motor or was it just the contactor and rollers?
