Hobart Beta Mig LF ???

[DesertRider33]

My friend bought a Hobart Beta Mig LF and doesn't know anything about it. He's not a welder. I have not seen the machine, except for a small picture of the face of it that I could barely make out. Does this thing have a wire feeder inside it or is this just a power supply?

In general, the Beta Mig was a one piece welder, built in feeder, like the MM200, but they did build some that used external 17 feeder, similar to Millers Regency, which was MM200 without internal feeder. You can tell quickly by the short size, about 16 inches tall and no feed control on front panel, whereas normal Beta Mig was about 28 inches tall and had speed control on front panel as well as hole for gun to pass through. weldersales

Thank you Weldersales. From the picture he showed me, from your description, I would say it is one of the ones with the internal feeder.
