Hi guys

I guess this might be too old tech for most people, but are there guys on here with first hand experience and would one still be able to get carbon rods in South Africa? Or even the complete torch.

Reason I am asking is because I have an AC oil bath welder that would be suitable to do this and just curious if it works. I know it would not compete against a oxy acetylene set, but maybe it can work in a pinch?
