Craigslist deal, nice little project.

Well, I have been asking about oxy/acetylene gauges and such for a week or so now. I will now show you why.

About a week ago, I picked this up off Craigslist.

Also included is a 140cf bottle (have to go pick it up, was out of date and just passed the testing)....for a VERY reasonable price.

Now, my girl wanted to give it a new paint job, so I let her.

And before anyone asks, all three tanks are private owned (no engravings), I have a bill of sale, the large acetylene was filled when I got it, and the oxygen I already got filled.

Ended up purchasing this by Strouty's recommendation

So what do you think?

Nice deal on the tanks and cart. You will be real happy with the Smith set.
Only thing I would add would be a flash back arrestor set for the gauges.
They are pricey but if the hose set ever caught fire it can burn back through the hoses set in to the tank. These are what we are required to use on all our outfits at work. I have seen them actually work in the field when a hose set caught fire and burned back to the truck like a fuse on fireworks.

The set i bought comes with flashback arrestors. Also i have the ones off my old port-a-torch. But yes, definitely wouldnt use without them.

The set you bought comes with reverse flow check valves which you would install on the torch before connecting your hose set. Here is a link that can explain things better than me trying to type it
