It's been rumored that Lincoln now owns Hobart, and the quality of the

I'm needing a little more welder than the Millermatic 135, and have
seen Hobart machines for less $ than Millers or Lincolns. Thanks!

Miller (not Lincoln) bought Hobart. The Hobarts now look just like
Millers, though they sometimes lack a couple of minor features. I
expect that they are the same basic machines.
