Torches and regulators John Husvar 05-14-2007

I have two large cutting torches and three regulators I'd like some info
on to make a keep-or-sell decision.

1) PUROX -- 20-1/2 inches long, marked C84-42, three tubes, works but
needs a new tip, clean looking, but dented tubes, no froze-up fittings.
(Some ham-handed character apparently beat on things with the thing.)

2) VICTOR -- 22-1/2 inches long, two tubes not dented as much as 1,
untested, needs new fuel valve (hose fitting incorporated into fuel
valve, threads battered) and tip, (same as above) clean, handle/mixer?
tarnished to dark brown.

3) HARRIS -- 0-60 psi low pressure gauge, 0-500 high pressure gauge,
works. Possibly for propane?

4) HARRIS O2 -- Model 25-100, works OK, although there was fear and
trembling in the old shop when I first cracked the tank valve. :)

5) Tap-Rite O2, untested, (no correct fitting -- internal threaded nut
with flat mating surface) has a hose barb on the output

Both torches had battered tips. I had to file them about 1/16" just to
find the other two preheat holes then clean them. (Only four showed on
either torch.)

Couldn't find anything via Google except that maybe ESAB now owns the
PUROX product line, no info on the specific torch.
