How True! I built my first frame in 1977 and bought a Solid OX from Sears. It was a joke, the oxygen lasted 3 minutes at most. The pellets were stupidly expensive. I used it to preheat dropouts and forkcrowns until I discovered silver braze and could use MAPP for everything. Should have bought an Actelylene/Oxy kit then instead of all the Mapp bottles I went through since.
