I'm a Fish!
The title basically says it all… I was gifted with a SMB a few years back that I really like. On the top of it, the company name “ARGON” is printed in silver, with a dot under the A and a stylized “A” symbol above it. I’ve hunted eBay for products by them and Google to see if I can find a website for the company, but I can’t find either.. despite looking fairly extensively. I’ve even searched on here through every threat with “argon” in the title (96 results, all about argon bottles/regs/rigging).

Is this brand name familiar to anyone? Does anybody know their website, or somewhere I could go to view co pa y info?

I’ll take a photo of the safety sausage if it helps.

Edit: added photo

Brilliant! Thank you! That’s precisely what I was looking for. Now I just have to learn Korean so I can figure out if it says “super high quality” or “factory seconds - worker forgot to seal”. :wink:
 
So, it turns out that Google’s “translate” app can now translate text using the camera... here’s a screenshot of what it showed for one of the rows. I tried using translate on the webpage itself but it turns out that the main information box is a photo, not text, which made it impossible to cut and paste also. It’s not perfect, but it does give a general idea.

Although translatetheweb.com did a good job of translating the first option on there (the one that wasn’t in the photo image on their site):

Glad I could help, I didn’t even think of google translate
