Miller XMT 300 CC/CV repair

I just finished replacing

the V/A display switch, it was more pain than I expected since it had

to be desoldered from a circuit board. The V/A display now works

beautifully. I have cleaned this welder, vacuumed it, blew the dust

out with compressed air (it had to be seen to be believed, it was

really bad), and now it is in tip top shape.

Powered up a laptop without stock power supply

I connected the Fujitsu laptop to another power supply. The other one

is a bigger and much more expensive power supply from Fermilab called

HP 6267B. It gives a much better, more stable output than the one I used originally.
