Torch set - Wrecker BII

[zebedee]

Can anyone tell me the manufacturer (model #) of the appropriate torch set for a 70's wrecker (M816). I got a nice box (45) from Jeff and I think I need to fill it!

"Vintage" sets on egay that 'look' like the TM pic seem to be either Harris, Smiths or Victor. May be the "Lin 67706" is Lincoln??

(...and yes I searched)

Thanks.

Do you want functioning or just period correct?

All the motorpools I have been assigned to had the Victor brand torch set and gauges.

Everything in all the wreckers I've every recovered has been Victor.

Let me guess Eric - you have a nice set of "nearly" working ones to trade for a tire or so!!! Give me some details...

Not exactly sure - the non working ones would have to be pretty cheap since working ones are real handy - though I do have two other working sets at home - one in the shop on larger bottles and another in the work truck on smaller bottles.


Thanks Ferro...' & Sand...' I appreciate the info.

I have a couple older sets at a storage location.

When I get a chance to get over there, I'll see what brands I have.

They worked the last time I used them (20 years or more ago).

I was just wondering if you wanted period correct, or just the correct brand.

Looking at the pics on e-gay of 'older' Victor sets, none really match the BII pic very well, though I guess there is a heap of artistic licence by the detailer. As to your question, I guess period correct or newer (ie., inservice replacement) would be the way to go.
I just remembered that I do have the welding set instructions pamphlet that came with the truck - perhaps there is a pic in there.....

No hurry, when ever you have time.

Thanks again.
