Welding tank problem

I seem to have a problem here.

Victor F-100, 0, 00, and #3(?) tips (aircraft project stuff),
regulators, small dia hoses, and tanks in a dolly.

No, the rig works fine, but I'm moving into a rental house and noticed
in the lease a clause prohibiting storage of flammable or explosive
materials.

Small amounts of ammo (less than 2000 rounds per piece are deemed ok,
but the acetylene tanks might make the insurance company itchy, so...

So, anybody in the D/FW area who would like have this rig?

Tanks were last exchanged in 05.

I don't recall the correct size designations.
O2 is ~5' tall, Acetylene is about 3.

What would it be worth in cash or trade?

It sounds like the tanks you have are too large to be owner tanks in
Texas, so get your deposit back on the tanks from whoever actually owns
them. Store the torch till you need them again. I am in DFW area and
interested if you really want to get rid of them and they are owner
tanks. If they are owner tanks, most places will take your tanks in
exchange, so they may buy them as well. What area are you renting in?

Hi Charles,

I bought a set that were still in inspection, but exchanged then with
Start Welding in Seguin (several times).
So I guess they are rental tanks now.

I won't be needing the OA set up any more.
No more airplanes in teh wings.
But I'm keeping the small buzz box and my Hobart Mig.
Hey, a guy has to be able to weld!

I'm, in Rowlett now.

My place still calls those owner tanks. If they were rental, you would pay
more each time filled, or perhaps by the month.

Most places in Dallas I have dealt with just exchange, whether owner
bottles or not. The difference is that non owner bottles can only be
exchanged at the refiller that owns them. In Texas the largest size
owner acetylene bottle is a B tank I am pretty sure. They are typically
about two foot tall, not including valve. 80 cubic foot is the largest
owner bottle for O2. I think this is TX DOT laws. Your description
would indicate that they are larger. It can be confusing since the way
most refillers work here is the deposit and purchase price are the same.
So if you bring in a B bottle of acetylene that you own and decide you
want a bigger bottle, they will give you a rental bottle, and deduct the
deposit price of the B bottle off of the deposit of the larger bottle. I
have heard some places actually rent the bottle by the month,
discounting it if you are refilling often. Anyway, if I were you I
would call your supplier. If they are bottles with a deposit, then you
get the full amount back, instead of getting a fraction of that and the
new "owner" having a set of bottles that they may have trouble filling.

I have no idea how this works outside of Texas or even the DFW area. I
do know that my brother just went through the same thing when he
inherited a set of bottles from his father in law. He got the deposit
back here in Dallas, and got another set in Kerrville where he lives.
All of that combined with my low usage is why I stick to multiple sets
of the small bottles, even though filling per unit volume is higher
cost. My neighbor has a set of rental bottles if I run out on a weekend
( which has only happened once in ten years)

Richard,

Last time I saw a rig like that here in the OKC paper it was going for
just about $100 complete and it ran for a long time, don't know if there
were any takers. I would be interested but I need a second torch rig
like I need a second hole in my head, maybe more.

Good luck.

dont make assumptions.
the bottles are safe containers in good repair in the hands of a
competent? operator.
ask the questions of the people before throwing away good gear.

btw if the lease arrangements are like australia you should be able to
return the bottles for a refund.
if the handpiece is a small one I'll have it.
I'll send you a dillon mk3 (henrob) that you can waste your idle
moments being frustrated by in exchange. :-)
