If he refuses a demo request I wouldn’t bother buying from them anyway. The Paton is a good set; if you can get a demo of that machine it’s worth considering.Far away unfortunately.
I am exploring what little our sellers stock, because I will not purchase one without demo anymore. I have lost faith in manufacturers tech specs for obvious reason and the only remedy is getting hood time on machines. Hope to meet Paton ProMIG 250 and MinarcMIG 200 next week, 150 km round-trip. Powertec i250C is in stock where I live, but I am not sure that dealer appreciates clients asking for demo.
