There was a big box on my doorstep on thursday and inside was a shiny new PM 256!.

Checked it out.. had a couple of things to fix
- gas coupling was on the wrong hose..
- Pedal was warped... looks like something hit the box.. took it apart and fixed it.

I'm still running wires, so I haven't got it up and running yet. Will try to do that this weekend and send a couple of pictures.. I'm effectively a newbie at welding (haven't done any in 30 years or so). it ain't going to be pretty :-)

The one concern I have with the unit is the power cord.. the labeling on the cord says it's only 12 ga wire... doesn't seem at all adequate to carry 50 Amps..
