Lincoln Electric product codes question.

Date 03-30-2005 19:18

I just purchased a Lincoln Invertec V350-Pro Advanced Process welding machine with a product code of 10876 which appears not to be the most recent product code because on the manual is also lists a higher numbered produde code of 10934. Assuming they issue new produde codes when they make changes to the machine and assuming the highest number reflects the most recent change does that mean I did not get the 'latest and greatest' of this machine. How do I find out the difference between the different product codes?

Thanks

I called them and they were clueless and said that they don't know what the difference is there is no way to find out. I spoke with a cutomer service representative and a technical help person. Either that is a canned answer or they don't care.
