    Absolutely. It isn't the SSC unless you paid abou 159.00 for it plus 15.00 shipping extra. There's still a big difference and you can't mistake the two. The SSC has a sanded top surface. It is wider and flatter than the current pedal.

    Well I spent some time running more beads and it is still loooosing arc intermittently . so I guess my question remains is it the pedal and how to be sure?

    We've got several threads on checking the foot pedal. We also have a pinout posted on a sticky. Do you have a needle type volt/ohm meter or a digital one? (Needle type preferred). You can check the sweep of the pedal and make sure it is going from 0-47k and 47k-0 smoothly between pins 3 and 4 and 4 and 5.

    One easy way is to switch to the torch switch and run some beads. If all is good, it is most likely a bad pot in the pedal. Does this happen with the pedal always in the same place in it's travel?
    Long arc, short arc, heliarc and in-the-dark!

    I just ordered the SSC pedal I hope this will fix the problem. Oleg gave me a good deal . I will be sure to post results. I wanted to order a ck torch, left a message with mark a week ago because alex didn't have many details on them but haven't heard back yet. So far support has been good thanks Everlast.
