    Sorry for the delay Bradley, but I replaced my rear cover today and checked my unit against the pics you provided. In each of the three locations, I had the same modifications. My unit functions perfectly now, so if you still have any issues it is not because of these particular mods. Click image for larger version.

    To illistrate how well the welder is working, here is 2 titanium coupons, .015" thick autogenously lap welded together. I'm looking forward to getting a back purge set up to do the welds properly.Click image for larger version.

    Adam... thank you very much! I got your voice message and really appreciate you taking the time to post the pictures. I definitely feel better knowing your 250EX is the same as mine.

    You're welcome Bradley I hope you got your machine squared away and running right. I just refilled my argon tank for the first time. Considering the amount of actual welding time I have put in, the 248 cuft cylinder should have lasted quite a bit longer. It would seem that I had a small leak at the tank fitting, since anytime I turned the valve off the residual pressure would bleed off in 15 minutes. At first I thought I might have gotten one of the cracked regulators, but I could not find any evidence that there was anything wrong with it. Now that I have a new bottle, it holds pressure just fine. I think it was the bottle I had
