Ai Alex,

>     versions? 

    I don't have all the technical details, but after looking at them at
    2 different locations at the Tucson Gem show, I'll give you the
    differences as I remember them. 

    The latest model has more power available at the welding tip. The
    welding power is adjustable The duration of the welding pulse can
    also adjustable. The new model comes with a microscope & it's not
    necessary to use the welding sheild/gogles with it. The price of the
    new machine is around $4200.00. If I were buying a Puk today, there's
    no question in my mind, I go for the latest model. It allows you to
    do a wider range of work. 

    Two dealers I know of are Rio Grande & Gesweine (sp?). There's also
    a dealer in Chicago on Wabash St. who's name escapes me at the
    moment. 

Dave
