    Will the 250EX accessories that he kept work with the 200DV and the 185DV ?

    Probably not without some tweaking. I think the DINSE size will be wrong, and maybe the pot in the pedal, too?
    Long arc, short arc, heliarc and in-the-dark!

    Since the 185 is less than 200 amps, it does use the 25 series connectors. I think we may have some separate connectors available...but the new unit will come with that. The 185 "officially" can use either pot, but I think there is some slight difference in feel when starting at low amperages.

    Thanks for the shipping feedback. I'm going to box it up today after work and shop around for the best shipping deal. I'm still waiting to be paid. Fun.

    I usually but used stuff. All my precision measuring tools are second hand. I don't buy new cars. I was watching that auction but decided against bidding as I haven't gotten paid for the one I'm selling yet. I'm aware I'll have to spend some money on new DINSE connectors and I will be paying for an SSC pedal, as, honestly, the Herman Munster pedal that came with the 250EX was really, really clunky, though it did work well enough for me to get work done.

    *shrugs* I'll likely put the extra money into a new 200DV, as with the sale of this machine, the money I put into the new setup will be less than the cost of the 160STH I was considering buying just to knock out some simple stainless work I am behind on, but now I'll have everything I need in a package I can use much more often. That's all I want. I'm not a complicated dude most of the time.
    Not so obvious and ruthlessly odd.

    That machine Sold 611.00...on a weekday. Not bad for a salvage store as an unknown, untested unit without any accessories. that sold for a little over 1000.00 to 1100 new.
