I purchased an old airco busy bee stick welder today. I was curious if
anyone knows where I can research how old this thing is? I am sure its
antique. Any help would be appreciated. Pete

Some of the "Bee" machines were made by Miller. Several of them that Ive
bought/sold recently were nothing more than the Miller Dialarc 250 with
a yellow/Orange and white paint job.

Hell for stout, great solid machine. One lives under my welding bench
for all my stick work. Not too many changes in the last 20+ yrs, mostly
cosmetic, I was told. 550lbs
The manual above may be for the newer machine version..cosmetics may be
different. I can send you a picture of mine if there is any doubt.

They also made a HF version with extra stuff for TIG use. Sold one
recently that was a BEE machine, with the HF stuff
