Hey guys recently I got two acetylene torches from some guy for free but they don’t have oxygen tanks or 2 tubes going to the torch for that matter. Seems it’s only acetylene. Are these some old antique torches or are they missing something?
You are probably right. I was thinking this too because he also had a whole bunch of plumbing pipes and tools but I wasn’t sure. It makes more sense now. I will post a couple pictures todayAir/acetylene plumbers torches.

You can change tip size on those, did he have any other tips? Or the sheetmetal key to open and close the valve?
That is a B - bottle, real plumbing supply shops might still have them for exchange at a good price.

A picture is worth a thousand words
I got 2 more bottles from him. All empty however. I also have the key.
Meahh "fotos"... even so, it looks more like an "MC" to me?
Airgas
wupps.... better fotos, yah. "B" size.
Pain in the ass, too, any OLD ones are. Lug-aroound WEIGHT besides inspections and Acetone trimming cost and nuisance.
Over the years, War-One onward, some of the various fillers used to provide the insane surface-area needed for adsorption valence-linkage to Acetone have included Asbestos fibres, and even air-entrained concrete!
I was wondering how neutral the flame is on these? I've not tried brazing but sure like the precise flame, I used one to heat up rusted on nuts to aid disassembly and to locally soften a couple things.
