http://www.generationsglass.com have them but for a $20 marver it's $37.85 shipping.  Do as Shannon suggests and Google it and see if anything else comes up.

I have a Bethlehem Betta torch and Ive just got a Nortel minor burner marver fitted to it. Works alright for me.
I dunno wot the difference in size is between the betta and the minnow?!

what diameter is the torch? it looks thicker than the minnow
Title: Re: mounted marver to fit beth minnow?
Post by: ♥♥Tan♥♥ on April 26, 2007, 02:59:51 PM
I think it is Angie but there is an adjustable thingy that attaches it to the torch, that needs to be tightened so it may go smaller....or mine does anyway

Post by: jewelchiz84 on April 26, 2007, 06:00:48 PM
Just to say the Betta measures 16/17mm in diameter. But I would agree with Tanok, and see what Q has to say on the subject!

Never seen a Minnow in person, sorry!
Title: Re: mounted marver to fit beth minnow?
Post by: glassworks on May 15, 2007, 05:17:44 AM
oooooops... just got back to this one - thanks for the bump... any marver that fits a minor will fit a minnow - although the barrel is a LOT thinner.. as soon as it s light i'll nip out to the studio and get the actual dim for you... the minnow, betta, barracuda combo will be making the trip to FH bean happening with mike...

sorry for the delay chap - just lost this one thread..

i have 30 new torches on their way, including a quad port great white - which i am told is the bee's knees (which i am a little uncertain off - what use are apiary attachments to torching?).. ??? ;D

Post by: bubblefizz on May 16, 2007, 09:14:50 AM
ok i await your reply, i just want to be sure i buy the right one, i was gonna get the minor marver but just want to be sure it will fit the minnow  ;)
Title: Re: mounted marver to fit beth minnow?
Post by: glassworks on May 16, 2007, 10:11:29 AM
right - definitive answers....

minnow:

barrel is 3 1/2" long and 1/2" wide, 90mm x 13mm

minor

heatsink is 2 1/2" long x 3/4" wide, 60mm x 20mm

which means the marver for the minor will fir the minnow, although more of the minnow will stick out at the end.. the minnow also has a really slim barrel - if you look at the pics of one you will see what i mean.. this means that the hoseclips will just need to be tightened further than with a minor!..

hope this helps..
