Yet mine go unanswered. Doesn't anyone have a Victor J28 torch?

I do. What do you need to know?

As Larry learned recently..I have a fair amount of torch stuff

Only the 000 tip appears not to violate the recommended acetylene
withdrawal rate of an MC tank in the Victor tote. My well-used set
came with a 2-W-J welding and a rosebud tip. I asked for advice before
ordering a 000 tip which I thought I could use for auto body sheet
metal, to reflow and clean up my messy MIG welds.

After it arrived I ran a bead on 24 gauge steel. It welded it OK
without melting through but the heat-affected, scaled zone on the back
side was much larger than I like.
