    Default For sale buy owner 50mm Herbert Arnold(old style center fire)

    Selling my 50mm Herbie out of necessity. The torch is the old style with raised centerfire. It has some mileage but is in perfect running order and in great shape. The only blemish at all is one of the centerfires holes is slightly smaller than the rest, but by no means blocked off! This seems only cosmetic and was like this when I purchased the torch from a good friend. It appears that it was caused by swiping carbon off the torch face with something that wore down the top corner of the raised centerfire where the port is located. The flame isn't affected by it whatsoever. Other than that torch is in excellent condition and runs great (with or without compressed air). I do use it alot but it is not my daily driver and find myself in a position that the money would do me more good than two torches. I'm not an expert on the tuning of these torches but the flame set seems correct to me and it melts boro like butter! The fine tune knobs (alan bolts) have not been messed with since its been in my possesion and the internal mechanisms have never been toyed with! My bro bought it from Banjo back in 2001ish (was either Chaz's or Matt's - not sure) My bro used it for aprox 1 year then it sat in a closet collecting dust untill I purchased it from him a year ago. I'm posting some photos of it, but if serious buyer wants to see it run through its flame sets I will make a video of it running through all the stages. I am asking $2500. Wish I didn't need to let it go , but thats life! Also the inline propane pressure reduction regulator will be included with torch. Hit me up with any questions you may have. Thanks!

    I am adding a few better photos and pics of the flame at different stages. This is still available and I am willing to drop the price down to 2,000$ & buyer pays shipping. Click image for larger version.

    Since it's already sold, is it just me, or did this torch cost about $1300 when it was originally bought? People are going Herbie crazy!

    I don't think it was that low to start, but I wasn't around when they were new. To me, the old style is worth more, and the price going up for something that is no longer being made makes sense.

    Also, for anyone reading and taking notes, the hex keys on top are NOT fine tuning, they are limiters, and control the amount of gases coming through. Adjusting one will totally disrupt for flame if you don't know what you are doing.

    I guess he can sell his old style 50 for $1300 if he likes.
