Hi everyone:

I just got a sweet little deal on a brand new/ never been used, or even removed from the box, Purox brand Oxy Acetylene torch kit. It still has the plastic caps on it. There was a receipt in the box dated 1979, which means this thing is probably older than some of the members on this board, ha ha.

I did some Oxy Acetylene cutting back over 15 years ago, so I will be a bit rusty until I get the hang of using this again. I intend to learn how to gas weld sheet metal. My question is this:

With a piece of equipment this old- can I just go ahead and use it out of the box, or will I need to rebuild these/ replace the seals? Same with the regulators. Is there a way to test them?

Any suggestions/ recommendations are appreciated.
