wire welder torch needed

I lucked up and found a great deal on a Millermatic 200 wire welder in great shape... but it was missing the line and torch...

any chance anyone out there can tell me where to get a good deal... Miller wants 150 bucks for a replacement... I'd like to stay with a Tweco gun if I can... I know their quality

tweeco is the only way to go. it is worth the cash. no i don't have a used gun, unless you're really hard on them they last forever.

Look up your local welding shops in the phone book. Some shops will try to sell you the name brand parts others will advise you on the "replacement" brands.

I buy all of my supplies at a local shop about a mile away and they generally treat me OK. My "discount" seems to be getting better as I buy more equipment.

i've got 4 or 5 used ones you could have..... hehe, but thier no good..... we've had a millermatic 200 in our fab shop for 18 years, and it uses a whip every 4 or 5 years... course we use it everyday, and i've seen days when a 44lbs spool didn't make it through 8 hours
