Just looking at the Miller site and their smallest muti-welder is the Shopmaster DX and retails for $3500. Maybe I should just buy my dad's old Forney arc and then just buy a good mig.

It's pretty hard to remote control an arc welder when the amperage is set by plugging the cables in the desired range on the front.
It's been a good welder. It's a Forney C6 220 amp A/C ARC welder and was most likely built in the 60's. Probably has 1-2" of dirt inside plus some misc bolts and nuts. The carbon torch needs work and don't know if the built in battery charger works as we have never used it.
