I've been using a Miller Millermatic 140 Autoset for darn near 20 years with great success. I think the 141 has now replaced it. The "matic" part of the name means it has the option of setting both amperage and wire feed rate with just one dial, a dial which simply displays the material thickness to be welded. You can also override either setting and increase/decrease amperage or wire feed rate independently. Guys who are better welders than I am can take advantage of that and vary their results a bit, or tailor it to their "style". Me, I only know enough to be dangerous, so I really like having the machine make those choices for me. Best of both worlds, really. It has served me very well.

Edit: oops... it's a 140, not a 130...
