--A friend loaned me a torch cooler he has had in storage for many
moons but it's a POS and needs a *lot* of work. Time to buy a new one. I'd
like a Miller but crimmeny the prices start around $600 and go up from
there! That's a lot to pay for a tank, a fan and a pump.. Has anyone got a
link to a cooler that won't bust my wallet?

This is for a TIG torch? If so, just pick up a carbonator pump and stick it
on top of a 5 gallon bucket of clean water. Don't need a heat exchanger/fan
setup according to Ernie, who has run one for a long time now.

Hi Ed.
I have one I can send you.
It works, just needs some clean up.
Just sit it on a 5 gallon bucket of water.
I run mine through a water filter so I don't get any crud in my tank.

You can also make one from a used soda carbonator pump. I did just
that.
