I have a Smith accetylene generator. Can not find carbide anymore
around here. Anyone know where one can purchase a container.
I have lots of cutting to do an want to use the old machine.
The plan is to pressure test and replace the seals but waiting to do so
until I can locate the carbide.
These generators can be dangerous. I am 49 and have grown up around
this unit.
If the carbide is not available, I may clean it up and put it in a
museum or sell the generator.

Acetylene generators are *cool*. I know where I could get one, if I knew
where to get carbide I'd go for it.
