They went under some time ago.

I have been lucky to make contact with a couple of ex-employees of Torch
and have acquired quite a stash of stuff from them. This includes the
cases and almost all of the bits for four TripleX's and a QuadX. A
complete and working last time it was used Quad X. I also have a couple
of boxes of spares, documentation and schematics. If anybody needs spare
parts for their Torch then let me know because I may be able to help.
