Either way I wouldn't use a repaired victor on the robot; there's too much potential for something to go wrong.
Repaired circuits are excellent for experiments and training new electrical people. Also, one fried CIM that we have was more useful as a model for welding than it had ever been as a working motor. And always have someone else check your circuit before you add in the power element. Remember, a bad circuit still won't fry anything if there is no electricity with which to fry!
