I am trying to find out what I can about my dads old Hobart TLG 182. this welder was old when he purchased it which was about 1963. I have it now and just curios about its age and specs. Thanks for any help

Reply:It is heavy but it’s the welder I learned to wield on. One of my kids can sell it but I never will. It still welds fine

Reply:It is heavy, for the very reasons Virgil stated, it's made of real components of substantial materials. That's why they weld like they do, then and now."Si Vis Pacem Para Bellum"Lincoln Idealarc 250 AC/DCMillermatic 251   Syncrowave 300   30A spoolgunLincoln MP210Hypertherm 45(2) LN 25(2) Lincoln Weldanpower 225 CV(4) SA200   1 short hood    SA250    SAM 400
