I rarely use my torches but turned on the oxygen and the regulator is leaking. Regulators are old Victor brand. Local welding supply doesn't rebuild said to bey new. They carry Blue Star by Techniweld of course made in China. Anyone have any experience or recommendations on rebuilding or a new regulator?

Rusty is spot on, just find a rebuild kit. I sell a Uniweld oxygen and acetylene regulator that's OK in a pinch. Your's is quality goods.

Outer diaphram is no longer available, this reg. is over 40yo. They say they might be able to match something but with shipping it would be in the $140 range.

I'm in Phoenix and this is a great mom and pop repair place.
Might be worth your time to call and see what they could do for you.

I still have my original Victor set, bought it back in the 70's. AIRGAS in El Cajon fills the same tanks.
