What type of mig are you looking for? I have a older Miller 330 A/BP water cooled high freg unit that I can't use cause I'm in a residential area. Just needs to be set up for your area based on type of power. Jim Hubbard or Hubbard maching can do itfor about $65.00. I paid over $800 but would like to get $500 for it. It weighs approx 800lbs and has the foot pedal and roller cart that holds 2 large cylinders. I work for San Diego welders supply so I could get you a new water cooled torch at my cost if interested.

Yes it is. I don't have the water cooler or torch but do have the remote pedal and cart for it. It does work but I blew a fuse cause I set it up wrong at first. It is best to have a service facility set it up for your area and application as they have about 4 different operating ranges.

I'm not to sure on the water cooler setup. I was going to go that route but as I recall I needed some special adapters and it was going to be more hassle then it was worth. I have been just running scratch start and have been just fine.
