Just wanted to share these tanks I just picked up. Had to use some paint remover to uncover these markings. Looks like they’re LP50s, never seen 1800psi service pressure that’s cool. Walter kidde is the manufacturer based on stamp and logo. US govt stamp, maybe old army tanks (guessing based on base green paint). Speaking of paint, look at all those layers! Non shatterable is an interesting stamp too. Banded with AMF Voit Snugpack and US Divers manifold. They were full of air, though it smelled pretty bad kinda like old paint. Hoping a tumble and hydro is all they need but I picked them up for $60 so not a terrible deal for decoration.
I’m hoping to throw on this double hose setup I also picked up. Parts already on the way from the scuba museum. Picked it up for $50 so again, won’t be disappointed if it’s just decoration.
Now for the questions. Anyone know where I can find a backplate that will fit these tanks? I have little experience with twin manifolds (especially vintage ones), are there parts available for this one?
Thanks
