Congrats Zomba! Thanks for the contest Oleg. This has been a lot of fun and the board, with the great members, are an excellent resource.

It's zoama... actualy it's suppose to be zao ma (morning greeting) in pinyin (chinese transcribed into roman characters) "zaoshang hao" (sounds like zow shang how) = good morning.

Guys, Oleg and I have been getting a lot of emails about the use of the coupons. We should have spelled this out, at the beginning, and explained the purchase rules for the discounts then...but...live and learn. So, instead of answering each one, I'll set out the use guidelines here.

1) Coupons aren't stackable. No, we cannot offer 90% off of a purchase.
2) 1 Coupon per purchase event please. As before, though, coupons are good, without expiration.
3) Coupons are good on one item only, not the entire purchase. I.E. If you buy a welder, water cooler and a plasma cutter, then it may only cover one item, not all three.
4) Coupon Purchases should be separated by at least 3 months.
5) A very, very few select items, may be exempt from coupon purchase such as the new US made foot pedal option, or an unreleased or special product available for preorder or special order only.

I think this is fair, and hopefully it will satisfy all inquiries.

congrats zoama and thanks Oleg for a second coupon. Stack-ability would have been a dream (PT 250 EXT for $249.50 plus shipping) but I can certainly see why it can't be done.

Congradulations Zoama, are you going for the 250 EXT?

I was going to purchase the I-Power 200, but think that the 250 EX is looking appealing with the discount???

[zoama]

Congradulations Zoama, are you going for the 250 EXT?

The 250 EXT looks like an awesome machine, but using the "green bucks" for a Power I-Mig 250P and a PowerPlasma 60 would be be better for me at this time.

Sorry about that.

I had been in the woods and had to drive about half an hour to get a cell signal so I could see who won. I wanted to congratulate you but have a heck of a time with the tiny keyboard and the autocorrect on my phone.

I realized I have misspelled it, but knew it wouldn't go well trying to edit the post on the phone.

No worries, thanks.

Zoama,

I'd be the first to tell you,having used the unit myself, you'd be better off putting your PP 256 up for sale and getting the 250ext. No comparison....absolutely none.

I may do that later but right now I'm trying to get a side job going and I need a heavy duty mig welder.

[bobwills]

Congrast zoama on winning. And thanks oleg for the coupon guess ill be looking at getting a plasma next. Contest was really fun. I cant wait for the next one.

Zoama,

So what makes the 250EXT so much better than the multi-process PP 256? To call it absolutely no comparison seems to state that the pp256 is a piece of crap. I'd hate to see what rep a pp205 or 226 would get....

Are the multi process units really that bad?

[Trip59]

Congrats all and thanks for the coupon offer, that's awesome of you guys.

[ogorir]

Thanks to Mark and Oleg and everyone else at Everlast for another great contest, and congrats to Zaoma for winning! Looking forward to the next one, I always like seeing what everyone else is up to and people post many more projects during contests

I think a plasma may be in my future with that 40% off coupon

[SeanMurphy265]

Thanks Everlast for the contest! I now have a 50% off coupon and 40% off coupon!

[mightyhammer]

Hey Mark, looks like I may be out for the contest. I have some personal reasons for no longer having a facebook account. I am new here, but have owned/used a everlast super 200P for the last 5 years. Thank you for this site I wish I would have found it earlier. I like the sounds of the 250 EXT, but I was really looking into the MTS 200s as I am in the market for a new mig welder and the 'ol 200 is not tig welding well at all lately. Are there special discount coupons that you offer from time to time? Hate to ask, but I am a gimpy disabled Marine veteran got banged up over there, and my income is tight. I make most of my scratch from welding and fabricating. Maybe someday down the line you will have another contest that doesnt require a social network account...lol Anyway, thanks again! Coop : )

[DaveO]

Hey, Coop, and welcome!

This contest actually ended in late October, and didn't require a facebook account-"Liking" on facebook was an extra entry in the contest, and the moderators were lenient about allowing a friend to Like on your behalf, for instance. The recent contests have worked by offering a grand prize such as the 250EXT in the last contest, or its equivalent in "green bucks" (cash equivalent you can spend on other Everlast products). So if you've got your eye on the MTS and you won this contest you could opt for the green bucks and get the MTS instead.

The contests have been a lot of fun, and have allowed extra entries for metalworking projects submitted during the contest. It's always interesting to see what the other members are doing.

What kind of welding and fabricating are you doing? And you might explore why the 200P is not working properly with tech support- this is the tech support forum, so you're in the right place.

Hey Dave, thanks for the response. I fabricate a variety of items for trucks, jeeps and i have been working on a lot of dirtbikes lately. I am currently in the process of modding a steel frame CR250 with a CR500 engine. I am also beginning on a newer aluminum frame CR250 with a 500 engine. I build 4 links for off road suspensions, bumpers and I have several buddies in the logging industr who always need something welded as you can well imagine. Thanks also for the input on the contest. I really need a new welder. To put it plainly, my 200p fluctuates current as you weld, with or without pedal. You'll be going along just fine and it will max amp and blow out or sometimes just drop all current and leave you cold. I am not a super tekky guy when it comes to diodes transistors and such, so I just deal with it, or did cuz I wasn't aware there was an awesome forum for us crazy Everlast die hards! I still am looking to purchase a new machine regardless and if I could get a discount on the MTS 200s, it would sure be nice Coop

[mightyhammer]

I will get some pics loaded up here real soon of the bikes I am workin on and maybe a few of my stealth 1 ton chevy mudder.

[mightyhammer]

Sorry to keep making new post with questions I could have asked earlier. Is there currently a contest going on? Last one I see appeared to end at the end of Oct. Correct me if I am wrong. Coop
