Yeah I’m considering picking up this Miller bobcat he has that won’t work it’s older and I think I can fix it he said no arc so only so many things it can be! Has 10kw gen on it and decent engine
 
If it runs and you can take the cover off to inspect and don't see traces of some sort of catastrophic melt down it's probably worth it. Again the older stuff less reliant on circuit boards are usually repairable. If I knew as much about trouble shooting the machines as I did using them I'd be super excited.
