Finally, after a long wait, my 225 LX has arrived.

The box the helmet came in was a little beat up.....





Thankfully though the helmet is just fine.





As was the welder itself.




Unfortunately I need to replace the water pump on my wife's mini van, wire the garage for the welder and swing to HF for some tungsten's before I can start playing with it.

For some reason I thought the "included consumables" would include a tungsten or two but I guess not.
