Old Craftsman blowtorch
I acquired an old brass Craftsman (plumber-type) blowtorch in
preparation for building a model boiler so I have several questions about blowtorches: Where can I buy a leather(?)washer for the pressure pump? The valve on the pressure pump looks like it should have a ball valve. There is a spring but no sign of a ball. Is the ball missing? What's the best fuel? White gas (naptha?), kerosene? ??? Does anyone happen to have a diagram/parts list(even generic)? Is there a book that describes the care and feeding of blowtorches? What do I need to know to operate the various controls? Does it need to have the vaporizer pre-heated like a Primus stove? TIA Max ben-Aaron |
