The part numbers may have changed since they were last posted here. (SL2-35LG or SL2-35QD) Your best bet is to just call Everlast and they will set you up with the proper adapter. Everlast is a CK dealer and they have packages all pre-configured to plug and play with their machines.

I've had an early prebuild unit. It welds TIG nicely. Stick welding is good too, but we had to make an adjustment as the OCV was through the roof at 107V. I could burn through 1/4" wall pipe at 60 amps with an arc force setting of 20% with a 3/32 6010!!! Welds smooth other than that. lol. Shouldn't be an issue on production units, but if it is, it is/was a relatively easy fix...and I have 9 extra resistors if one is needed. lol.

These units are out of stock. More will be in shortly in the next few weeks. The resistor value was discovered at the factory about the time we received our preproduction units as they test too simultaneously. The production units incorporated the revision . Shouldn't be any issues.
