GTT CRICKET for sale

[steven p selchow]

Bought a cricket a few weeks ago, usually I buy new torches to try them and pass them along. I bought this with the hot orange body. I used it to make 1 pendant only, so its got about 20 minutes use on it. My plan was to have a similar flame to my pre-mix torch, but to work silver based colors that only a surface can do. I decided not to keep it so..I paid the introductory price of $139.00 plus the $15.00 for the color, I'll sell it for the $139.00 plus shipping.
VISA/MC accepted.

Damit ,I wanted this torch to wear as a pendant like flavor flaves clock .I guess i will just have to order one from gtt.LOL

[steven p selchow]

just a tad big. The original gtt prototype Willy showed me at agi is the perfect pendant size, I have a photo of it, its maybe 3-4 inches long. I was going to make a glass GTT for him, but he never got back to me. The plan was to do the barrel in 3/4 in. rod and then the bracket in sandblasted sheet glass, with a walnut wood base cut to specs of the original base..it still is in the back of my mind to do one.

have you seen the clocks flava flav wears, huge!!! you could wear the cricket as a pendant, no problem...

the torch does really well, actually... i'm pretty stunned... just have to think small...

steve, do you think you could do a review? or did you really only try to use it for that one application?

[steven p selchow]

Really, I only made that 1 pendant with it. Of course I played with the settings, I never went real small, but this torch can, don't know why anyone would use the smallest setting though, it would take awhile to heat a joint up for instance.
I can't do a review on the time I had it, maybe Earlbacker will.

[krisdaka]

does it do a good job melting the pendants your making?
Does it melt boro fast?
I get that it's quiet..Thanks!

I bought one just for fuming. I did try it with a disk flip frig magnet. seemed to work fairly well . I used a 25mm med wall tube and added a lens using a 12mm rod. unlike the other GTT torches the barrel gets bloody hot and I will say I really dont feel comfortable standing at or over the torch it is really really small. I will have to make a stand or something, but for what $135 its a good buy. sorry for the huge picture and the stained glass looming in the back ground and the bubbles. the piece below was about the size of a quarter and stolen out of my booth at the market I attend.
