I have my Dad’s Prestolite Acet/Air tourch. It leaks gasaround the control knob. I understand these use o-rings for seals. Anyone knowwhere to get these and how to change them?

I think those are the ones that my old shop teacher had. If I see him around, I'll inquire for you if someone else doesn't help ya out first.
 
I have found a source for the O rings for the torch. Looking for adaptors for the regulater to fit the smaller hose and connect to the B tank. I'll post all the info if it comes together.
Figured out how to get the torch apart to change out the O rings, too! Dummy me, there's a allen set screw in the end of the handle! Got the valve apart and the O rings are hard as rocks!
