Something else you might do is check the want ads, pawn shops and the like. If you educate yourself on the cost of these things, and take your time you can get a really good deal. Last July I picked up a cart, cutting torch with hose and guages, and the gas bottles for $200. The bottles were the large size oxy and acetylene. The oxy bottle was about half full, and the acetylene was almost empty. The down side is it took me almost 2 years of biding my time to find this deal. Oh, I looked up the torch head and body, and while not a Victor journeyman it is the same size, and listed new for $160. Not bad if I do say so myself!!
