Blow torch

Anybody know of any 'old fashioned' blow torch that are still on the market, the type where you have a gas supply and a compressor.

Going back to live steam for a project and the one I have just dig out of the shed is past it!

I've never seen a blow torch that had it's own compressor, but I'm really intrigued now!

I think that he means the "vintage" style ones, like a pressure lantern, where the liquid fuel is under pressure and then vapourised prior to ignition.

I suspect this is what he had in mind,..

I had originally thought that he might be after a propane torch,... my mistake.
