As I was working on the sight glass, I discovered the fittings to the tank are screwed in - not sweated in like later tanks with the same fittings.  I seriously did think about just heating up the seam, I am 95% sure it would not need any new solder and as you say a bit of flux just to let what is there to re-flow.  My torch is a bit of a sledgehammer, it isn't a full size guy but small(er) hand held but still a bit of a big/wide flame (doesn't support tips).  You stating "finest tip torch" makes me want to get something that allows a bit more fine control.

@Stoker thanks for your help, I do appreciate your time reading/posting!  Sometimes I just need a bounce back to tell me something I should already know ;-)
