[Land-speed] HELP-- Need Torch Tips

Thanks for that link, Joel. Unfortunately that thread discussion was on
cutting tips instead of welding but I did find lots of interesting stuff
there.

HELP!

I use an oxy- acetylene torch that I bought back in the early '70s and
somehow I've misplaced or lost the extra tips for it. Does anyone know where
I can get a -4 or -5 tip for a Craftsman 624-54131 torch? It has a
triangular body with the gas controls on the top end of the body. The copper
tips thread into the mixer and the major diameter of the threads is 0.276". 

I've checked Sears but it's too old for them to stock replacement parts.
Trips to many welding supply houses have been fruitless; nobody knows who
made the torch for Sears and I have not been able to find tips with the
proper thread in any catalog-- Victor, Purox, Airco, Harris, etc.

If anyone has a tip they'd like to sell or knows where to find one, please
let me know. I don't want to buy a new torch just to be able to handle
thicker tubing.
