Gas welding safety question

[limax2]

Thanks celticdog. There was indeed a date on one of the regulators, 1978 ?. Since the rest of the gear is about the same age I have decided to scrap it on safety grounds and have a fresh start. My thinking at the moment is to just use my existing mig setup for my welding needs and go down the oxy/propane route for the occasional brazing job. I already have a rent free oxygen bottle and a propane bottle so cheaper than the acetylene options for what I need. Cheers.
