Would someone have any opinion as to what what of the Victor torch
sets would be most suitable for general screwing around with welding,
and cutting, you know the kinds of things that I do. Would their
lowest set be sufficient?

I have either sold or given away all but perhaps a few stray pieces all of
my Victor stuff. In my opinion the smallest set is the best if you don't
need the size to escape the heat. The smallest (well the one I gave to a
friend) cutting head which will screw onto both handles with b hose fittings
and a hose fittings and forward knobs has a tiny cutting tip with six
preheat holes and is quite controllable. If you lay a piece of steel
between your hands and the flame it helps. Otherwise I prefer a dedicated
cutting torch. (not a screw together) with the larger cutting tips victor
has quite a few steps in the escalation of oxygen hole. How worn the knob
threading and how precise the regulators are have a lot to do with results
of keeping a neutral flame. Then you can get into whether when you unscrew
the handle which gas comes out of the center opening as one is called
injector type and the other is called mixer type. to be honest I can't
really tell the difference but the injector ones are supposed to be better
for using the acetylene totally up in the tank. I would think all of the
name brand ones are good, oxweld purox smith airco victor harris, the harris
only has separate acetylene mixers for each tip in their largest version. I
might hunt down a set of welding heads first and then hunt down a new handle
but do what you wish. A lot of folks use larger sizes and rosebuds to heat
for bending or something like that, that is where your large tanks will come
in.

Sounds like Terry is going to hook you up. The 315 is a mighty fine head.
If you want to do smaller, you'll come up with one of the smaller ones.
They're about $500 new for the Journeyman. They're nice, but I bought one
for $50 at a yard sale, head, hoses, and regulators. Didn't have all the
tips, but those can be had on the cheap, too. New is nice, but used in good
shape leaves you a lot of extra cash.
