    Default New 250 EX--Neither Rain nor Snow nor Dark of Night......But UPS--Oh yes!!

    Nice story - hope things start going more smoothly with the next installment, though.

    PS - The big box stores (like Home Depot and Lowes) are a good source (and probably local to many, for instant gratification) for a range of 30-50 amp plugs popular for welding machine applications.

    Home Depot and Lowe's both have them by the barrel full. 60.00? yikes...That's 17.00 plug! 22 for a really good one.

    IIRC, when I got mine a while back, they were quite a bit cheaper at Amazon than the big boxen.

    UPS does have some creative excuses for not delivering on time, I checked tracking after a package didn't show up as scheduled and found "LATE TRAIN" in the comment field...
    Penncrest Buzzbox - Infinite amp control! Man the 70's were good.
    Everlast Powerplasma 60 - Reliable unit, cuts well.
    Everlast i-MIG 250P w/spoolgun - Really smooth, plenty of cajones.
    Everlast 250EXT - Sometimes it just takes a kick in the balls...
    Everlast 255EXT - Just started playing

    Maybe what they really meant was "NIGHT TRAIN"

    I was thinking the same, and hoping the $60 included a couple plugs and a receptacle or two for making an extension cord.

    Guess I will stop complaining about plugs costing $20 locally.

    You say that like you expect us to actually read what other people write....

    Oh.....you guys are such jokers...!!!

    I might have fallen off the turnip truck.....but I didn't fall off yesterday..!! As I said, and as #zoama585 so patiently pointed out, there were several other items in the order as well. I actually paid only 14.99 for the plug but the other five items brought the package total up to 60.55....

    And yes, I am aware that the big boxes usually have these plugs on hand.....Unfortunately, there isn't one close to me (about 45 miles..) so the cost for gas both ways would have added another $18.00 or so to the price.....easier (and a LOT cheaper..) to just order it. Except in this case, as #Geezer pointed out "sh** happens."

    So, I guess it will be Monday before I can fire up the 250 EX....That's okay. I waited this long. Another day or two won't kill me.!!
