I want to start using a 200DX ASAP think I'll go ahead and order one Thursday or Friday ... I'm sure I qualify for the next discount but I don't want to wait ... maybe Oleg will cut me some slack on the price.

Any day on a motorcycle like this that ends just needing parts and labor is a good day.
4.82, 158.67mph 1/8th mile 7.350, 200.35mph 1/4 mile
DO IT!!! Then you can join me in checking the clock to see if it's two weeks from now... LOL
Honestly, the changes they made provided me with a clear choice. Down the road I'll upgrade to the biggest and baddest, but the new 200DX appears to have all the features I need for the foreseeable future.

I hear ya ... I just learned when the next shipment is due to arrive and I know of a lot of people who want the same unit ... I don't want to miss out and wind up having to wait for the following shipment ... if I can't get a break off of retail I will wait ... also having never owned one if I find I like Everlast I will be making other purchases ... one way or the other I will be taking advantage of the discount so the cash in hand wont be thrown away. It's all good

When I called in the other day, they told me there wasn't an availability issue, there were plenty coming... I still called back that afternoon and placed my order, better to be anticipating the shipping when they're unloading than hoping everyone didn't do what you should have and pre-ordered

I sent a message to Oleg this morning with an offer on the 200DX if he excepts it I'm going to order it today ... if not I'll wait till the end of the contest ... waiting for a reply now ... keeping my fingers crossed.

Alright! Oleg did e-mail me and the e mail got lost in cyber space ... Mark intervened at one point and was willing to help me out ... then Oleg e-mailed me again explaining that the e-mail probably wound up in my spam folder. So I PM'ed Mark and told him Oleg was on it ... I must say Everlast makes a great effort to fill the needs of it's clients ... I'm impressed and Mark was also great too.

Thanks, Winky, for taking the time to let us all know what is happening. I had a feeling that Everlast would go the extra mile to see how they might meet your needs. And it's nice to know that Oleg took time from his schedule to see to your request personally. Hope it all works out - would love to see what you can make with some new equipment
Is it OK to want to break something just so that you can weld it back together?
Everlast PowerTIG 185 Micro IGBT AC/DC Welder
I'm excited about it ...the only tig welding I've done at this point is with a small DC scratch start ... let's face it ... that's pretty weak ... it may take me a little while to get it dialed but it's going to be great when I do aluminum because at this point I have to hook up a spool gun to my Lincoln 180c then change tanks ... it will be great just to grab a rod and go ... Oleg says I'll be amazed at the quality of these machines and from what I've read I believe him. It's going to be one of the new models with pre-flow and the new pedal they're anticipating the shipment soon so it shouldn't be long.

Yea I'm excited ... they haven't arrived here yet but Oleg says it should be a week or so. I've looked at all the other "Comparable" units and no one comes close to offering the features and value Everlast does. You can get a Longevity 200 amp AC DC for a little less but there really isn't much control over your current ... anything else AC/DC @200 amps is really lacking or cost way too much money ... I like Lincoln and Miller and Hobart and I have machines made by them but PLEASE the cost factor ... the're great machines but they're way too proud of them.
