Oh the anticipation ... got a half tank of argon ... a supply of 2% lanthanated 3/32, a fresh dedicated grinding wheel and the itch to start welding aluminum ... I'm ready ... OooRah!!! Can't wait to start using my new 200DX
OK, a half tank? how did you get a half tank?Quote:

So, Winky, do you have an approximate ETA for your new machine? You must be crawling up the walls! ;)
I think we should be getting them by next week(I really hope so) and I have officially been crawling a month now lol.Quote:

I was given the expected delivery date of the 11th ... but that has come and gone ... I'm waiting for the announcement from UPS that they have received the shipment once that happens they will give an updated projection. My entire life has been spent waiting for things so I just figure it's par for the course ... I would like to start playing ... uh ... I mean "working" with it ... but I will just have to wait like everyone else ... so we all get to drool together.Quote:

All of that would be great to see. I can't even afford to look at blue .... LOL Hopefully TIG'ing is like riding a bike (probably is to some degree. Muscles and the brain have a great residual memory for coordination stuff). Cheers!Quote:

I hope it's not to long now. I take it the main shipment is by sea and docks on the west coast ... I can't see a large industrial shipment going air freight and it makes the most sense for a pacific rim corporation to ship to SF since the store is in the south bay.Quote:

I'm assuming they need to go through the shipping container inspect everything ... mark each pre-order with addresses and get them to UPS then make sure all the info matches up ... I don't know how many people are available to work on this or even for sure this is what the issue is ... being just a customer myself I'm in the dark too if you are overly concerned I'm sure a staff member can fill you in if you PM them ... if you learn anything please post what you find out ... there are a few of us waiting with you. I'm hoping they will be on their way by the first of next week and we will all be Tigging by the next weekend.Quote:

Not quite at annoyed at this point, but it'd be nice to have a delivery date to make some plans.Quote:
