Well this is a counterfeit product. Serial numbers aren't even our series of serial numbers. We've never produced a product like this, although it looks like DC 3 in 1 welder of some sort. Can't tell if its mosfet or igbt technology. It does not have the digital display which all our units used since we started. The paint looks like it is a paint over. There's no side markings either or rear/side panel specifications, which all our units have had.
My guess is that someone ordered a cheap unit off ebay from China or from LOTOS or somewhere thinking it was the "same as Everlast" and when they got it it wasn't or it was broken. So, they ordered an Everlast 250EX from Amazon, took the old welder, repainted it, (also the lower part on the front looks sprayed over to cover the original name/info) and sent it back in the original 250EX box with the 250EX sticker from a new unit that we use on the upper part of the plastic panel(which sometimes comes loose) and restuck it on the repainted unit. I imagine they got their real welder for a couple hundred bucks all said and done...Whatever, though, it was crooked, and this guy is a salvage guy stuck with it. It does have a stick holder from our new 250EX units...but no TIG torch or plasma torch, which were probably junk to begin with and he kept the Everlast TIG torch and sent the new style stick torch along because he was only going to TIG weld...and it is sitting on top of a weber grill box...but the clam shell box appears to be ours...not sure.
