I am not sure what I have that I could sell for a Kobuki. My soul is not worth that much!

i love the idea of having three different flame widths....but i don't like the idea that the foot pedal needed for a 3 stage is like $700 iirc.

I have worked on one. I dont really see the need for the extra stage.

i don't need all 350hp in my a6 either, but it sure is nice to know it's there. sounds good too.

i eventually see myself making goblets...so a larger torch with compressed air would be ideal.
then again, for the price i could get a beth champion...stay on the phantom if i'm making marbles, get out the champ when i'm blowing hollow. sooooo many choices these days.

Did any of this help?

STILL haven't been able to light my torch again. if the weather cooperates (i work out of an unheated garage in VT) i'm at work....on the weekends it's either cold and windy.

but.....i'm calling in sick friday 3/27 just to play with glass...so hopefully i'll be able to answer your question saturday am when it comes out of the kiln.
