welding tips

[aojo]

I have restored a older Victor 550-100 welding handle and discovered I have no cutting tips. None are available through the local gas suppliers and I hope someone in the community has a spare or two or can point me to a source. Apparently this stuff became scarce over the past few years.

Do you have a CA 1250 cutting attachment? if so tip 2320 fits.

I've got an old CA-105 in the shop...I don't suppose that they are the same?

Thanks for the suggestions guys I have sent off inquiries to the companies mentioned.. my torch is from the 60s and it is a smaller unit, but looks identical to any Victor handle, that we used on a commercial fishing boat that I worked on during summer school breaks. The markings on the handle show TYPE 100 and the serial #62524 as well as Victor Equip Co. SF Calif. The marking on the cutting tip shows Victor 550-100. The markings on my cutting tip which I was advised not to use any longer shows. Victor 500/ 1-5-101/ Victor 1 My restoration interest is in its use as well as nostalgia reasons which sometimes can be expensive. I need to learn how to post photos but didnt find a suggestion of how to do so on a recent search??? thanks again

Does it take a standard "medium duty" Victor tip?

00-5-101
0-5-101
1-5-101
2-5-101. These tips will fit. Or you could look for the knock offs.

thanks guys..I know the magic number on the cutting tip is 5 for the 5 series.. nothing has popped up on eBay for a while.. the torch base is compatible with the new Victor 100c base and that opens up access to all the welding tips. But if I want to use my 550 cutting handle I need to locate the x-5-101 tips.. still looking and I appreciate all the input. Dont know how to search for a knock off as 1967 lemans recommends... I'm gonna flog this horse until i come up with a tip...

Goss part number 2320 would be your knock off.
