Honestly, the changes they made provided me with a clear choice. Down the road I'll upgrade to the biggest and baddest, but the new 200DX appears to have all the features I need for the foreseeable future.

I hear ya ... I just learned when the next shipment is due to arrive and I know of a lot of people who want the same unit ... I don't want to miss out and wind up having to wait for the following shipment ... if I can't get a break off of retail I will wait ... also having never owned one if I find I like Everlast I will be making other purchases ... one way or the other I will be taking advantage of the discount so the cash in hand wont be thrown away. It's all good ;)Quote:

My fingers are crossed for you too, Winky. Would be nice if you can get started on things earlier. End of the contest seems so far away ....Quote:

Winky,
If you lowballed an offer, it will likely be ignored, since those kind come in daily, and are too numerous and frivolous to count. PM me your offer, and I will respond to you personally and put the sale through if it is acceptable.
Done ... we can work something out to both our advantage.Quote:

Alright! Oleg did e-mail me and the e mail got lost in cyber space ... Mark intervened at one point and was willing to help me out ... then Oleg e-mailed me again explaining that the e-mail probably wound up in my spam folder. So I PM'ed Mark and told him Oleg was on it ... I must say Everlast makes a great effort to fill the needs of it's clients ... I'm impressed and Mark was also great too.
Thanks, Winky, for taking the time to let us all know what is happening. I had a feeling that Everlast would go the extra mile to see how they might meet your needs. And it's nice to know that Oleg took time from his schedule to see to your request personally. Hope it all works out - would love to see what you can make with some new equipment ;)Quote:

Oleg says I'll be amazed at the quality of these machines and from what I've read I believe him. It's going to be one of the new models with pre-flow and the new pedal they're anticipating the shipment soon so it shouldn't be long.Quote:

I talked with Oleg but it was after store hours ... he said we can take care of it first thing in the morning. It will still be probably a couple weeks before I get it because I want one of the 2012 models and they haven't come in yet ... but soon.Quote:

Good for you, Winky. I know you've been planning for this day for a while (must seem like an eternity). You've posted a fair number of pictures in the past so I won't bother asking you to post pictures of your new machine and future projects - I'm sure you'll keep us in the loop with what you're doing. Nice way to head into the weekend. Cheers!Quote:

Yea I'm excited ... they haven't arrived here yet but Oleg says it should be a week or so. I've looked at all the other "Comparable" units and no one comes close to offering the features and value Everlast does. You can get a Longevity 200 amp AC DC for a little less but there really isn't much control over your current ... anything else AC/DC @200 amps is really lacking or cost way too much money ... I like Lincoln and Miller and Hobart and I have machines made by them but PLEASE the cost factor ... the're great machines but they're way too proud of them.
Thanks to all my friends ... yes I will keep you in the loop ... happy metal melting ... God I love to play with fire ... YA THINK?

From all I've read here the last year, the folks there really bust their collective arses to get them shipped as soon as they get their hands on them. Don't worry, I'm doing something that will ensure they'll be shipped in record time... getting my hands tattooed, won't be able to weld till they heal, so the way the universe works, as soon as I do it tomorrow afternoon we'll get shipping notifications :)
OMG talk about loyalty ... U R AWESOME ... I had some guy on the weldingtipsandtricks forum make the comparison of Chicago Electric to Everlast ... I had to set him straight ... all a person has to do is research just a little. it's like PLEASE!Quote:

At that, most would think I'd dismiss Everlast outright, however, the involvement of the folks at Everlast are what makes them different than crap form HF. The care, the personal investment and involvement, the willingness to help and support, etc. pushes them above, in my opinion, blue, red and gray.
I eagerly anticipate seeing your company ... I wish success in your endeavors. I think that China is coming out of a slump the same way Japan did, I remember in the 60's everything that was made in Japan was junk .... "made in Japan" was a running joke for a long time but now what is produced there is considered state of the art and of the highest quality. I have seen tremendous stride in China's metallurgy over the last two decades and I am starting to see the same in their electronics ... China will not be considered the "third world" as it has in the past they are emerging as a major player in world economics.
It was a sleeping giant. It is waking up. So much potential capacity (and demand) It only needs a deft management hand to guide them into making superior products. Get a few companies like that and watch out.Quote:

You are absolutely right, Winky, China will either explode onto the market or slowly creep in and the companies who are being complacent thinking they are safe are actually in big, big trouble.
It's funny but every one of those countries at one point was taken seriously by virtually no one ... the times are changing ... what's the phrase? Oh yea ... you snooze ... you loose. The Pacific rim has woke up and they are yawning with a morning cup of coffee. We can either roll over and fall asleep or we can team up and bolster each other we new partnerships ... innovative ideas ... and make it work to everyone's advantage.
