I don't think that is possible because both Hobart and Miller were acquired by ITW sometime in the mid 90s , they share the same parent company but are 2 distinctive separate companies ,I don't know of the internals on each machine .

What about a wfw 140 Marco welder I found one for 250

Bought a Lincoln 180 HD last year. Can't believe how good it is. They have a good price at Home Depot too.

BTW- it's a 240Volt unit

I've got a millermatic 135 with gas that I like a lot.
The 140 should do your patch panels just fine. I'm sure it'll do much more.

Hobart is owned by Miller, I have a Hobart 140 that will weld most things you'll come into contact with. It's a nice welder and much cheaper than a Miller. I got mine used with a cabinet, 2 gloves, and few things of wire for like $250. Plus another $120 for a bottle of 75/25 co2/argon. Been welding all kinds of stuff including my patch panels with great results. And it's only a 110v which is nice unless you have access to 220v.
