I've got a Hobart BetaMig LF. It's pretty good.

I can't seem to find out anything about it. Does anyone know anything about this guy? It's kinda weird, it's named BetaMig, but it's got an external wirefeed, no provision for an internal ever being there.

It's got "High" "Low" and "Noodle" settings for the coarse control. WTH is "Noodle"? It seems to be a lower power setting than low, but "Noodle"?

Plenty of power in this guy. Blows the 50A 22V breaker every now and again.
 
I have a Beta-Mig 200 with the internal feeder. It has worked for over 20 years with no problems. The noodle tap was made for filling up gaps with the wire and then welding it up at a higher tap. I never have used that function. I think the max 220 draw is 44 amps.
