Whats oxy acet kit worth?

[EddyP]

Hi guys, thinking of getting rid of my oxy acetylene kit now i've got a plasma cutter, but trying to get an idea what its worth:

Not sure how much the acetylene bottle is, its still damn heavy, the oxygen has done one tiny job since it was filled.
Its complete with BOC cutting torch, and brazing torch, both with loads of nozzles in a very nice BOC metal case, relatively new hoses, flash back arrestors, regs etc.... and a couple of other BOC brazing torches too.

Thanks

The cylinders are not your's to sell...property of BOC Equipment wise, not much...it's cheap as chips brand spanking new with warranty...40 quid tops.

Property of BOC, ok they haven't been missing them for the last 30 years :lol:
They still have a value to someone though

i wouldnt want to use a bottle 30years old....they are subject to regular checks and could be unsafe!

Its always worth keeping the gear,you never know when you might want to cut material thicker than your plasma can....plus its handy for preheating and brazing...and seperating items seized up.

I've got a MAPP setup for that and access to oxy acet at work now.

There's still a place locally where apparently you can change BOC bottles without a problem, obviously its more than a BOC refill charge.
