I have a 250 wirematic and I can see how it never developed much of a fan club, yes, it is a sputtering temperamental pos really. I was never happy with it.

Whoops, I didn't mean to imply I was with Hobart, I was in a hurry and a lot of these guys would know me from post on that site.

I have been around the forums a while, I just never signed up and pestered anyone here.
