[HomeBrew] RE: Which torch?

[Dr M J DiGirolamo]

Hi Loren,

  One of the most useful instruments I've owned is a mini torch using both
oxygen and aceteleyne gas.  It is a true welding torch and comes with tips of
all sizes.  Years ago ads showed the welding of two wires inside of a cigarette
filter!  Oxyacetelyne might seem like overkill but it's real nice when you need
to do brazing or a little heavier work like on duplexers, etc..

   I did a quick Google search and didn't locate it under the name "mini torch"
but if you search around and can't find it, drop me an email and I'll search out
the Mfr for you.  I'm almost dead certain I've seen them recently advertised.
