A friend of mine is cleaning out his garage (moving) and has a Harris torch set to get rid of. It includes the torch, regulators, tanks and cart. The handle is stamped with "Model 85". Tanks are close to full, only been used once since they were filled last.

Is this brand any good? What's a fair price for something like this? How's the quality compare to the Victor torches, which I understand are pretty good.

Is $150 for the setup a fair price? He doesn't know how old it is, he got it from his dad.

Another concern I have is not finding replacement tips for it? Won't be able to check the welding supply shops til tomorrow. Is it a common enough brand that I should be able to find parts for it at a decent shop?

harris is pretty common name and i doubt u will have problem finding tips for it.. and that price is good.. brand new setup would go to about 300 to 400 inculded tank.. so..

You probably know this already but make sure you get the paperwork that goes with the tanks so you can get them refilled.
