    does anybody know what the actual difference is between the old 639 from the 70s and the newer 639B and the newest 639C?

    as far as i know the only differences are that theres nonickel and they switched to shrader valve operation also. minor differences. the new 639c has a stamped steel burner system

    Um, as I understand it, the schrader valve was a significant step BACKWARDS with respect to performance and reliability.
