Bless you, my son, you are now authorized. Say three Hail Millers and sin no more.
Looking for the price of a new faceplate for a Dialarc I'm cleaning up. Called Miller, they gave me the part number and pointed me to Vintage Parts (vpartsinc.com). The problem is that they won't sell to me unless I am an authorized Miller dealer...
What a crock!

I'm on good terms with a couple Buddhist monks. Want me to have them chant a few good words on your behalf?
I would make sure whoever told you that at Miller hears that they will only sell to dealers. Ask Miller if that is their deal or just strong-arming on that dealer's part.

It's not Miller, it's the fools they sold the parts to... I guess I could go to a dealer locally but I'm sure they would have it marked up so much that I wouldn't want it...

Check with Larry Burross. If they do in fact only sell to dealers, maybe he'll order it for you and have it drop-shipped.

Here's the faceplate of my HF. Not bad shape for its age (1980 or 81).
