My brand new Miller Syncrowave welder went tits up about an hour
ago.  It looks terminal.  The nice LED read outs tell me there is no
voltage in the welding circuit.  I called Miller and they did not
seem particularly surprised.   I have to haul it to a service
center.     Jerry
Bad news Jerry. Hopefully it is under warrantee.
BTW do you tig weld aluminum now?

Is it a 180SD ?? I have one too, but it has been flawless...

Dave,  I think the 200 is the same machine.  They raised the  amperage claim by lowering the duty cycle.  Read the fine print.   Lincoln and Miller do this to each other all the time.   My machine  is claimed to be able to provide 150 amps at 40% duty cycle.  That  takes care of most anything you will find on our little  homebuilts.  I hope it is true.  Most of the time I leave the  welder set around 75 amps for welding 4130 x .049 wall tubing.    Seems to be plenty.   Jerry
