I dont have any Smith stuff, but I do have a spare Victor 100 handle in
my stuff. Ive taken a picture of about half of it..the rest is in
another container I cant get to at night...Ill have to move Stuff in
the
morning with the fork lift to dig em out. This is just some of the
spare stuff not currently on any of my working rigs ......

Out here in California..near the oil fields..most of what we use is
Victor, then Harris. My working rigs are either.

I need a SMALL Victor torch body, cutting torch attachment, and as many
gas
tips you want to throw in to make a set. This would be the one used to
cut
thin metals, and do fine gas welding work. Not the common 315 used
commonly
as a rig cutting torch.

The one I have is a J100..which is small for Victor, but its hard to
find Stuff for it. Ive got a couple brazing tips but no cutting head. On
ebay..they are ...pricey. IRRC..it uses a CA1260 cutting head.

Now Ive got a rather small Harris, with a cutting head..and brazing tips
are easy to find.

5th from the left in the bottom photo.

Now that red Marquette..Ive got a cutting head, and several brazing
tips..and its VERY small..but its not a Victor. Second from the left in
the bottom picture above.

Most of the Stuff I have is in good shape, but yall might have to
replace an o ring here and there.

Gunner


Sounds like what I am trying to avoid. I want plain bread common, easy to
get parts, service, and accessories for. So, I want to stay with Victor.

Steve

Dont overlook Harris. Very good stuff and not as regional as other
brands such as Smith.

Smith is very very good..but hard to find in much of America

Gunner


I have a Baume-Mercier watch. It is a good watch. Yet, it is hard to find
in much of America. I like something I can go to the welding store and buy
"stuff" for.
