I just picked up a A/O set from an Ebay auction ( 120099124418 ) andI believe that the handle is a Harris, though its marked Sears Roebuck &Co. It only has a brazing tip and what I need is a small cutting torch togo on the handle. Its definately not a Victor style based on the waythe mixer handle attaches to the brazing tip, handle has an OD thread,but much larger in diameter than a Victor of the same size. LookingHarris handles on Ebay also leads me to believe its a Harris.Checking out the Sears online store..again they look like Harris mayhave made them.Does anyone have a spare or unwanted Harris cutting torch I could beg,buy or swap for? This rig will be mounted on a welded aluminum portableframe and kept in my service truck. Its small and light and only needsto be able to cut up to about 1/2" at max..mostly just the usual 1/4"stuff one finds in light mainainence duty.Or even a complete torch, but having a brazing tip or small rosebudwould be nice as I occasionally have to heat and pull gears, etc etcAnyone have suggestions for a do it yourself portable rig to hold thebottles, hose, striker and so forth. Something to protect the gaugeswould be prefered, else Ill have to remove them all the time. Bottlesdont have provision for protective caps..and both IRRC are markedPestolite on the valve bodies.I can pretty much fabricate anything so suggestions would be appeciated.Pictures will be praised ThanksGunner"Liberalism is a philosophy of consolation for Western civilization as itcommits suicide"- James Burnham

All that you wrote is basically why I stick to Victor anymore. I also likeolder Airco cutting torches and also Smith torches for brazing or soldering,but Victor stuff is just really well known and easy to match up to.I have worked at places that used Harris torches and I liked them fine.Good luck, and don't forget to keep your eyes open for a 14" cold saw. I wasjust down in Costa Mesa checking out Leigh's cute little 10" saw, too smallfor me but otherwise looked like a gem.GrantGunner wrote:commits suicide"
