    I've used the Meco Midget for 14 years now. I use it with natural
    gas and oxygen. My preference is for the ventilated tips for more
    heat, and the little guys for bitty repairs. 

    A few weeks ago, I began to use a new ventilated tip that I got from
    Otto Frei. I observed that the tips I have used for 14 years may have
    gotten dirty over time. I plunked the old ventilated tips in my sonic
    for a few minutes, blew them dry and they work exactly like the brand
    new one. I probably didn't need to buy new but now have the extras I
    may need in the future. 

    Didn't Victor buy the Meco line? And then quit making the best torch
    I've ever used. I wonder how or who we could get to start making it
    again? I'm sure the little torch is great, but there is room for two,
    especially when so many of us still love the Meco after all these
    years. 

    Does anybody here have good success with the little torch using
    residential pressure natural gas and oxygen? Specifically natural gas
    without a concentrator?
