and hf start.and waveform,and and and....
Some stores still have the ProTig 200's, they are being put on clearance. Other items that are on clearance are still on the website - you can find their product page and download the manuals. The ProTig 200 (item #63619) is not anywhere to be found on the website, you can't even download a manual. It's like HF doesn't want to acknowledge that they ever existed.
HF also seems to have a pattern of retaining products names while making changes to them, they simply add more SKUs. Doesn't make sense that they would have to erase the ProTig 200 to replace with it another similar, improved(?) model.
My guess is that they reached an agreement with Lincoln to pull the ProTig 200s, and they are replacing it with a different version that will appease Lincoln Electric.

I think you are right.

Everlast told me the HF Titanium line was a ripoff of their older products when I tried to obtain Everlast case stickers so I could sell the green POS on Craigslist. :laugh:

I also think Lincoln was hammering on Lotos as they changed there color to brown
I was curious about the timeline as well. But it has been a few months now. Since I see inventory running out and with the disappearance on the website I would venture soon.you've either said too much or too little

There is clearly a POS here, but I'm not so sure it's the item being sold.

shame hf didn't look you up for the updated version,or did they.......
Maybe.
I spoke with customer service rep about parts for my ProTig200 and they said its discontinued, parts still available. She confirmed a new model is "in the system" and I think she said it was a "205", but she didn't have any information on it other then its a replacement for the protig200 and it has 205 in the model name. Soooooooo.....I guess we'll see??
I'm also waiting on a Vulcan or Titanium plasma torch! I saw that the old plasma cutter is gone from the website too.

welding machines are like computers there are usually yearly changes to models with new and improved versions.
.
if nothing else often electronic components are made in batches and electronic parts made 10 or 20 years ago are often no longer made. so redesign for newer component parts is needed
