[Trip59]

Excellent! Like I said, not trying to be a pain in the arse, I just have a lot of things in the air and need to plan accordingly. One job may get bumped back, one moved forward, etc. (one of them is free, so he can wait till I'm ready LOL)

[Winky]

OK, a half tank? how did you get a half tank?

Maybe he discovered another use for it.

LOL I didn't buy a half tank ...it's what I have left over from using my little DC TIG inverter ... about the only thing I haven't picked up yet is a new pack of 308 rod ... that's next.

Ya now what we need? a Mr. Green smiley face like Jody has on his forum ... it's a natural.

So, Winky, do you have an approximate ETA for your new machine? You must be crawling up the walls!

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.

Same boat, except I'm 20 minutes from the Atlantic, so mine was 6/14, but still no received note on tracking. 4 days transit time, so if it ships today it'll be in next week for me. I work 10-12 mon-thurs and 10-6 on friday so I'm waiting till the weekend in any event...

98% argon tank check

Wait, wait- 98%? Pure argon for TIG, right?

[Brian Ski]

Pure Argon is the norm for TIG... There is Argon with Helium, it is a plus for Aluminum. Then there are quite a few variations if you are into fine tuning gases.

Yeah, I thought it was Monday but didn't want to say anything when you didn't post .... I don't (can't) buy much so I pretty much live vicariously through others when they buy things so sorry if I seem a bit excited about your purchase.

I'll help you out there, I have a few friends who think I'm nuts for not going blue, so I'll be documenting the hell out of my arrival and setup...

Granted, the last TIG I did was in 98 using the top of the line equipment the Navy had, so it should be interesting to see both how things compare from memory as well as how quickly I can de-rust my skills

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!

Not a problem ... I've been wanting to get an AC unit for a couple years now ... red and blue totally out reach financially ... been looking at and thinking about Everlast for almost a year ... didn't want to put anything on my CC until I had saved enough to pay off the bill (I hate to pay interest) got the CC bill today ... the purchase already on it ... 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.

Well I just checked the tracking again and its still saying Order Processed: Ready for UPS .I have gone from anxious>patient>concerned and now annoyed.I have a ton of work on the back burner and still no welder much less tracking what is going on? and way its taking so long?

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.

Did this shipment have any PowerPro 256 units that are not spoken for?

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