Hello friends from Everlast forum.

My name is Marcio, I am a computer engineer and I always loved welding. I live in Brazil and things here are much more difficult to have access, like TIG welding. Machines are really expensive and it is pretty HARD to find someone who knows it. Basically Oxy-Acetylene is the precise welding here. Period.

I usually go to USA once a year, and this time I am planning to purchase a Power Tig 200DX. I believe it has everything I will ever need.
I am just concerned to one thing: having it transported by airplane. Have you seen the way baggages are treated? I talked to Mr. Oleg by e-mail and he told that a few people have done it. But I still fell afraid.

Would it be possible to anyone who still has a machine close to that to send me a picture of the package??
That will help me a lot to determine whether I put the unit inside a suitcase or if I have it as a checked baggage on it's original package.

Thank you very much.

PS. Am I the only crazy who dreams with a welding machine?
