Miller GoldStar 300S like this one (not identical)

Would you say that it is guaranteed to become unusable if it sits
outside for a year, in Illinois climate?

Covered with tarp part of the time and uncovered another part of the
time. In the middle of the train museum yard.

I see large welders on trailers, and flatbeds all the time here. I know
they are not inside a shop - they are on pipelines and ranches......
Most are the Generator type - but some are not.
If you can get it plugged in and turned on - even if you don't draw power
on a load - you know the transformer isn't toast - check to see if it draws
power in the standby.
Otherwise - you roll dice and see how it comes out.

Likely it is fine, but you should pull the covers off and give it a
good blast with compressed air. |

You got lucky. I'd still store it in the garage or under cover, even though
it has proven it's a tough guy.
