Thanks China,
I stand corrected.
However the gist of the message is still there. I am talking longevity ,reliability,that sort of thing.
Going right back to the original post.
The mig failed as the plastic wire driver cage or frame was made of plastic. It was cheaper to make than using an alloy casting. The plastics fail due to UV light breaking down the plastic.The plastic does not need to be in the continuous sun, just light.
