Default Radnor oxy/acetylene torches?

Anybody familiar with Radnor oxy/acetylene torches?

I have the opportunity to buy one... brand new, and according to what I have seen online, a good deal.

It also comes with free lessons.

Looks like this:

What do you think?

Radnor is, I think, a house brand of Airgas Co.
Model 8525-510DLX has some information at this link.

Our local Airgas handles Radner.. I bought two things, some 7018 welding rod, made in Mexico, and some welding cable twistlocks, made in India. I threw the rod away, and have been fighting the twistlocks because they wont stay locked. I'd spend a bit more and get a Victor torch.
