sounds like a good deal. You gonna leave it acetyline, or switch to propane? That setup works pretty good on propane too.

the regulator and all that are the same, you just need a propane tip. I generally run at 15 psi for the propane, and 40 for the oxygen. I also use a #1 tip. The #2 is too big and takes out too much material.
