    I went by a local pawn shop and they had a new looking victor torch and radnor gauges. I think I can get them for $200.
    It has this cutting attachment.

    I don't know what "mixer" (the bottom piece) it has but it says victor on it too.
    I haven't ever heard of the Radnor gauges. Are they good?

    They are asking $119 for the torch and $109 for the pair of gauges.

    I went to my local welding supply store and asked about renting the tanks but they will only rent tanks to customers with an account... They would sell me tanks for $450.

    So I'm going back to Craigslist to look for a complete setup with tanks or just tanks by themselves.

    Paid $380. I need to get the acetylene tank filled tomorrow. Hopefully that goes off without a hitch.


    One of the torches looks like it has never been used. I will try the both and sell which we one I like least.

    Why not keep both? I like having two mixer sizes around for heating and welding purposes.

    Having a dedicated rosebud would be nice! The welding stores will have T's you could put on the gauges.

    I prefer the small torch size, I cut straighter with it. Also used the 00 size tips for anything from 16ga up to 3/8", have used it on 1" and it works. Now that I deal with thicker iron I use the 0 size tips. I get a cleaner cut with the small tips.

    I prefer a larger torch with a #3 tip in it at all time. You can hold the torch farther away from the material or angle it for quick, strait cuts on then material.

    Then again I am not the one buying the gas

    Edit: Almost all of my experience is using propane/natural gas instead of accetlyne
