Here is what happened I bought this 250 LX direct from Everlast really wanted to go out on a limb and try it out figured it was a good purchase (bang for the buck) Summer 2011. Less than 10 hours total time welding and a year later this happens.
I was practicing on some aluminum scrap about a month ago. The tip started to sputter and splatter the material. All of a sudden the amperage reading got hung up at 473-474 and stayed there. Here is an image I also took a movie of me turning the machine off and on hopping it would reset it and turning the amperage knob a few times and nothing and flipping switches.
I have reached a point where I am starting to make products for people. Please help me I would really like to have this machine back and up a.s.a.p. I don’t want to become a naysayer and say I should have bought a miller or something. I’ll give Everlast one last try if you guys can fix this Ill continue to advocate Everlast.
