Help w/ info on these old/vintage torches...

[timdhawk]

The top cutting torch has lost its sticker and has no ID #'s on it that i can find.
It only says "Airco" on the A/O
inlet ports. The middle torch is a Craftsman model # 624.54290 with
NV67 stamped in the flat part just above the craftsman ID plate.
the last one has "National cylander gas" on the plate and "Harris Calorific Co.
mod #13F" stamped on the body.

Any info on these items and/or parts availability?
I picked these up with the hose and tanks (ace tank up to knees and Oxy up
to chest - im 5'7) for $300.

Thanx, Tim

In the top pic: the Acetylene reg is a Vicotor SR-260 A. The Oxy reg is also a
Victor SR-200 C.

The Airco you might be able to get parts for yet from Goss, the Harris/craftsman looks like it may use Harris series 1320 tips. The national is a museum piece from about the early 1930's , dont bet on finding parts for them. They look to be in pretty good shape, watch for the old dried up asbestor valve packings, you may need to have them rebuilt. As far as the regulators, I would send them in for overhaul. Its not worth the safety risk.
