death in the family !!

admin

i was honored , when my father handed me the oxy/act set , that his father handed to him so many yrs. ago!  this handy lil cutting torch was... PERFECT !!  always did what u asked of it w/o and lip. ... as i laid the lil torch down and turned to grab a fitting , i heard the worst sound ever , a 1 ton flat bed truck , running down my lil torch body.  ,  ,  , i turned to look .. the torch was dying , slowly , still lit , gasping its last breath . its body and blood veins , crushed , only the tip , tubes and  cutting handle remain . the air adj. screw was blown out and its lil plunger was lost forever . prolly saving my life in the process . ....Anyway what im trying to say is : i need a cuttin torch body for a :Marquette ...Aero Jet....22-111 . also the plunger, under the air  adj. screw, under the cutting handle.  ANYONE .,have a clue where i might be able to get these parts ? it was my grandfathers . and my fathers whom are both long ago passed. im sick about the disaster that took place . may your welds always hold to anyone w/info !!!!

Reply:the pic is very dark , my cam/corder low quality. sorry . total length of this cutting assy. that you see is ..7.. inches. the handle is raised from where the plunger should be , directly behind the handle hinge pin , there is an air adj. screw that holds plungr in assy. in the center of that screw is a hole , that is where the plunger actually is . it sticks out the air adj. screw hole . when pushed, the handle , pushes the plunger into the hole causing air to enter the tube , accelerating the flame to cutting temps. that is my NON-PROFESSIONAL , explenation . i hope that is as clear as mud to everyone out there Attached Images

Reply:They go much higher complete. Look for just the body or just the attachment and they go for far less.
