Airco products: who made these

admin

Most eveything I have is Airco from the 70's. This gage is a Nitrogen gage, but it's the same as my oxgen/acetylene gages. Someone told me a long time ago. The company name started with V,  and it wasn't Victor. Attached Images

Reply:I also need to know about these two 1st picture is my Airco cutting torch, I believe it was either made by Harris or Smith. I need to buy a new 00 tip for it and also need to fix the acetylene knob from leaking. 2nd pic is my brazing torch, I would like to buy a rosebud for it. I'd like to know who made it for Airco. Any information will be well appreciated. Attached Images

Reply:AIRCO made torches before 1920. CONCOA bought up the line and still makes some of the torches. Cutting tips shouldn't be a problem but there were many styles.http://www.atlweldingsupply.com/Airc...ene_c_628.htmlThese guys may have the valve parts and they rebuild equipment:  http://www.regulatortorchrepair.com/"USMCPOP" First-born son: KIA  Iraq 1/26/05Syncrowave 250 w/ Coolmate 3Dialarc 250, Idealarc 250SP-175 +Firepower TIG 160S (gave the TA 161 STL to the son)Lincwelder AC180C (1952)Victor & Smith O/A torchesMiller spot welder
Reply:Thank you for the links I put them on my favorites  I have an Airco 250 which is a Dialarc 250 painted orange. Still going strong, matter of fact I'm going out this morning and weld some sections of pipe together for a pipe rail fence
