Anyone selling Victor J28 Torch or similar?

[abeship]

Just picked up a set of oxy/acet bottles of craigslist (they were cheap and I couldn't resist!). I'd like to practice some fillet brazed joints along with the tig practice that I am doing. Before springing for a new J28 or Aw1a body, I found those suggestions from the thread on this site here, I thought I would ask to see if anyone has anything laying around they'd sell. I will likely be picking up the TM light weight hoses and some regulators somewhere as well.

Thanks

Would you be interested in a victor 100 series? It's the next larger size from the j28. I have an extra set-up (standard hoses, victor oxy and acy regs, torch handle, cutting head, brazing tips and a few welding tips). Takes standard victor w-1 brazing and welding tips in all the framebuilding sizes you'd ever need.

I use a smith aw1a and another victor 100 and they both suit me quite well.

Torch handle is about weight (just like so much of our riding is) but tip size is where the tires meet the road (or trail). I have both a w300 and w200. Both take the same tips. There is very little difference in flame pattern/energy level with the tip sizes we use for brazing when used with either handle.

having said that a tool is a very personal thing so seek out what works for you. Andy
