I heard they run Panasonic internal electronics and was the reason why i purchased an everlast mts 252 sti and that was 6 years ago, to date i haven't had a problem with this machine.
Hopefully they've improved the MIG torch. My 275P welder came with a similar one. Heavy duty enough but the trigger switch on them is junk. It wasn't anything more than a spring loaded washer that when pressed, makes connection with a pair of contacts. The problem is the cheap "switch" loses contact intermittently which burns the wire back tand sticks it to the tip. Took a while to figure out what was going on. I ended up replacing the whole thing with a Tweco style gun and that fixed the problem.
I still have it. It's going to get some love soon. It's been a bit neglected over the past couple years. As soon as I finish this BBQ Smoker that will be pulled into the shop and addressed. I'd like to go wheel her atleast once this summer.
We cannot get ours to function reliably and predictably to save our lives. We can dial it in pretty close but then it'll randomly do some wild spatter or something. Triple checked everything...just cannot make it do what our miller does.

Not sure. The 24 torch that I put on my i-mig200 works great. It's not that old though. I just upgraded to that one and so far so good.
Love my 255EXT tig. Looking to get a mig. Cyclone 212.
Nice, what happened to the Pathfinder?

Have you talk to Everlast about the issue?
