Vintage 1979 Purox Oxy Acetylene torch kit

[GregWeld]

First of all it came originally from a cool little town -- just in the wrong state...


I'd not use the 1979 hoses.... I'd replace those with new ones. Having an issue with oxygen and acetylene doesn't work out in ones favor. Those hoses are OLD.


I'd consult with a local welding shop about the seals.... and while this is a really cool old set -- maybe someone at the shop is a "collector" of this kind of stuff and might be willing to trade straight across for a brand new version for what you have.
