    Default Bethlehem Barracuda

    I am selling my like-new Barracuda. There are no clogged ports and the head is in excellent condition. If you have never used a Bethlehem torch, the center fire is amazing.

    It comes with a Blast Shield with L-Marver valued at $145 + $15 for the quick release pocket. It also has foot of welding hose attached and B-fittings at the end for easy hookup.

    I'm asking $625 for the package.
    Torch and L - marver with no shield $530

    The Bravo has more outer flame ports. Why is the center fire so amazing? A Lynx would be a revolution then! The Barracudaz do bang out heat and are very cost efficient when your talking fuel consumption at 5propane/17oxy...I paid $650 for my new torch when they sold originally...not with all the fancy extraz....why would you use a blast shield on a barracuda??? It's noo way that hot...Not even in the summer when your studio is 130* and the table is shifting and you have so much sweat running into your eyes your can barely see and your chugging water the whole time...it's still not that hot...lol!

    So the Bravo has more ports, that's not what I'm selling. The center fire on this torch is sick, as opposed to Nortel's surface mixes or any premix.



    I bought a blast shield to see if I liked it, I love it, eyes don't dry out nearly as quickly. Is it necessary, not at all.

    This is an excellent torch, but it's time to go bigger. Willing to trade up too.

    I want it for the 500 with the L marver, I dont need the blast shield. I have the money but is there any way we could COD. There is a shop in town here that might help me get this done. I have never bought anything in this fashion and am a ll sketched about it. Lemme know what you wanna do. Like I said I gots the dough and I will follow through on my end if you can think of any way to solve my issue.

    I also love the beth centerfire! Use it everyday on my pm2. And by the way, the bravo has the same amount of gas ports as this, they just spread em out alil and added an extra ring of oxy ports along the innermost ring on the outer fire. She can get pretty hot.

    I have decided to wait before I sell this item. I didn't realize how long the wait on a Mirage was.
