It's been rumored that Lincoln now owns Hobart, and the quality of the
Hobart machine isn't what it used to be. Any truth to that rumor?

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

You get what you pay for. Buy quality, and cry only once. Or just keep
buying pieces of ****. It's up to you.

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.
