I had the same issue with my old SP-100; new tips are not compatible with my 20+ year old torch. Spent an hour at my CeeKay welding supply source in St. Louis and they were totally stumped. Could not find an older part number, and none of the old-timers at that store and the other store they called could find something for me. The newer torches use a screw-in tip, and mine has a 1/4-turn camlock effect. There's no obvious camlock feature, though; it just looks like a smooth round bore in brass and a smooth tip. But it really works after a 1/4 turn. I have one decent tip left, and when I bugger that one, I will probably buy a complete replacement torch
