After reading many, many threads on Scubaboard and talking to a few people at the LDS, two more Luxfer tanks circa 1985 hit the scrap yard this morning. Adding everything up, it seemed like the right thing to do.
My LDS was talking about $106 each to get them current with a visual, hydro, eddy current etc. Once that was done, there was no guarantee that another shop would have touched them.
So, the scrap man was happy to take them and even left the boots on for gross weight. I'm still not 100% certain that these were manufactured with the bad alloy.
