Oops! That says oxy/acetylene and Smith Lil' Torch in big red
letters. It is capable of pinhead-size flames. You need very
localized heat to silverbraze (or even soft-solder) stuff that close
together so you can get in, make the joint, get out and quench before
the neighboring joints even knew you were there.

Forgive the pitch, but I happen to have a Little Torch for sale, that I
never got around to putting up on eBay. It is set up for O/A with hoses and
regulators. It has only three or four of the standard tips, but it also has
a very interesting double-ended tip, (seen at
http://www.littletorch.com/tips.html) which allows very quick heating of the
joint by surrounding it with flame from two opposite points. $195 plus
shipping from Austin. I'll throw in the rest of the roll of silver solder
and the flux that I purchased for brazing stainless rod. (I ended up with a
TIG welder which was more suited for what I was trying to do.)

That includes regulators and tanks, right?
