To any who are interested in purchasing this machine,I checked on the price on this welder out of Oklahoma from Welsco.com. I heard about it some time ago on this forum,and finally checked to see if the price was as good as I heard it was. A brand new machine is $9,995.00 and includes freight to your location. I will call to make sure on this tomorrow. I read on this forum back in July that Lane Davis out of Louisiana purchased one for this price and it included   shipping. I e-mailed the manager and he sent me an e-mail stating that price. His name is Mike Brace, his e-mail is manager.tu@welsco.com his phone # is 918 836-4696 or 918 698-4449. He said this price applies at this time but will increase to $10,724.00 on February 1st because of a price increase from Lincoln. Thanks.
