oxy acetylene starter setup?

[gbfan10]

Do you have any recommendations on a starter oxy acetylene setup? I am sick of driving 20 miles to lend one from my brother in law. How much should I expect to spend?
It would only be for occasional use, to free frozen bolts, etc.. I use my plasma for all my cutting.

thanks

Craigslist, always abunch on there. I picked up an OLD Harris setup, had it rebuilt for 75, and was only in for a total of 150. That set was easily 50+ years old, and it will last another 50+.

IMHO, I'd stick to Smith, Victor, or Harris. Not something I'd go HF or El cheapo on, I've had a leaky torch head in hand once, not fun!

Wow - just a couple years ago that price included tanks. I guess there isn't a relatively inexpensive starter set anymore.

I got a starter set up from tractor supply for $300 with tanks and it was all Victor stuff. You can get tanks exchange there also.
