Are the new 2013 models out yet?

[mrflashlite]

Hi, I am interested in buying either a new 200dx welder, the 2013 model with the dual voltage, new style foot pedal and the improved front panel and was wondering if it was available yet. If the 200dx dual voltage isn't available yet were there any improvements made to the 250ex in 2013 and if so what were they and is it available yet? Also are they the planning on making 250ex a dual voltage machine?

thanks,

Good morning, Ed- Duncan posted some photos of machines in production here:
http://www.everlastgenerators.com/fo...ook-2013-200dx

Your best bet to find out immediate availability would be to call the sales office in SF: 877-755-9353.

Totally a guess on my part: the 250EX is the water-cooled workhorse, and operating at 110v would likely reduce the machine's capabilities and add expense to the extent that another welder in the lineup would do the same work better and cheaper. Are you thinking of portability, or ease of wiring the machine up?

The 200dx is in production now and the dual voltage units are being tested tomorrow.
The 250ex will not be produced as a dual voltage welder. I am not sure what you mean by new pedal , there is talk of a new mold for the pedal but at this time it is talk and no mold has been produced to date.

thanks,

The 250 EX is a dual phase machine...capable of operating off of 1 or 3 phase 240V.

to Titan winch, I heard that they were changing the foot pedal so that you set your max amps at the panel and then when you used the pedal that that was the max amps you were going to get, that what you had set at the panel was max and as you let off on the pedal it would go to 0 as you pulled out of the weld vs. using the pedal to control from 0 to the max capable of the machine. I think on my friends that no matter what you have set as your max amps on the panel of the machine, when you use the foot pedal it overrides that number. I might be wrong but I know it wasn't like the miller I had or use at work, it is kinda hard to get used to.
thanks,

Ed that was never completely the case with the 200DX. You had an amp control knob that limited maximum amps on the pedal. But true, it would only read the amps when the pedal was pressed. But the knob would give you a numerical value that wasn't amps, but once used a little bit you could get the hang of it. It would represent an approximate setting of the foot pedal and you could translate that value into the maximum amp setting as the knob was turned. (all our units change from a static amp reading to true output once the pedal is pressed) But since about the middle of this year, the panel knob limited the amps for the foot pedal. It isn't a new pedal in fact, it is the same one but without the limiting knob on the pedal.

Are the 2013 models out yet? A periodic update on the forum would really help us pre-order folks.

I can not speak for the USA ,but Jean sent out emails today to all our back order Customers updating them on the arrival for Canadian models they arrive in Toronto around midnight Friday and once cleared will be in our facility and starting testing by Tuesday , Wednesday and they wil ship as they are tested. In fact I have been told I have to work late each day and our part time guy will be working evenings with me just for testing and checking units for most of next week.
In fact I just added another 50 amp welding outlet at the back so we can now test 3 Welders at a time

Cheers

Is this just the new TIG or does this apply to the MIG line as well?

The new Migs are not in this shipment for Canada. I wil most likely be testing new Migs when i am back at the Factory in March ,at least for the Canadian market
Cheers

I just finished clearing the Shipment ( it arrived early ) it is now at the Warehouse but seeing as Monday is a Holiday i will be receiving this order before Noon on Tuesday. I don,t like being so rushed but at least i can start testing welders in the afternoon and evening to try to get ahead of the orders . I have Customers coming in on Wednesday for pick ups so i need to make sure these are all in order and sorted out first.
Cheers

Well that is rather disappointing news.

[gth_42]

Thank you for the insight Titan! Hopefully the USA models will be close behind. I may have to take a road trip if you have any leftovers

[Johnson]

ANyone have an idea if the US TIG's are being shipped ? Oleg mentioned two weeks about two weeks ago. Really looking forward to some of my projects Thanks - Ryan

I had heard end of this month. After the 22nd plus. But not 100% sure. Waiting on a 2013 250EX myself. But the old 250EX and 210EXT are serving me well so not that excited. But for those that have them on order I am sure they are.

Thank you, those in the know, for information as it comes available. It looks like there are a lot of moving pieces and any information, even from other markets, is beneficial.

It would be awesome if the forum had some kind of current model backorder list with projected availability dates. It may be a handy (call-reducing) resource for those on waiting lists. I understand there are no guarantees, and I'm not asking for even daily updates. Any semi-realistic date would be better than nothing. Welders-in-waiting could see the date as it changes and be able to plan accordingly. If things get pushed back a month then so be it. It is what it is. If folks know the list is updated, say, every other Friday then we'll know where and when to check.

If every 10th viewer of the backorder list would have called, that's "n" fewer calls to what sounds like really busy folks. I've called. It sounds like a madhouse. I feel bad asking the same question as 50 others have earlier in the day.

Personally, I'm not in a big rush. It's a hobby for me. However, I will be both moving to a place with no garage and selling my old (red box) unit. I just need to know when to sell my old unit, and what projects may need to be abandoned before the move. My need for a shipping date isn't that serious, but I'll bet there are others who could benefit from a little heads up for planning purposes as well.

From the outside looking in a simple list updated every week or two could really help. Perhaps a "sticky" (with miggy & tiggy) thread?
Or, does such a list/site already exist and I'm looking like a noob ?

For those who wait to test: Thank You! I'd rather wait for an additionally QA'd product any day.

Just want to be clear

MTS160 and 200S is no longer available . Amazon and ebay will be updated this week.

MTS200 and 250S are current two models. Our website is already updated

Thanks Oleg - that clears it up! A bit of a shame for me (being in the US), though - the 200S shown above looks like exactly what I wanted - not quite as big as the 250S, but with all the bells, whistles, features and knobs for me to play with.
