They are the XSScuba / Worthington Steel tanks:
XS Scuba Worthington Steel Scuba Cylinders The X8-130 to be precise.
130 CF @ 3442 PSI
When full, each is -11.7 pounds buoyancy, -2 pounds empty.
Empty weight is 43 pounds each. 8 inch diameter, 25.5 inches tall (Fatter and roughly the same height as a standard Aluminum 80)
They are currently set up as DIN, but I have the plugs to convert to yoke.

I purchased the two tanks in September 2008. They were last visually inspected in June of 2010. So it will need a current vis, and will be due for hydro after May 2013 (according to the stamp on the tanks).
I would estimate they have only had about 10-20 dives max. Probably on the low side unfortunately.
The sob story: Bought them in the height of my scuba mania. Regular dive buddy moved away a few months later, I very rarely dive locally now. They are the hardest thing to bring with me on the plane. I loved the tanks, they let me have awesomely long dives. For the shallow shore dives, it was so much better to stay down almost double the time of a rental 80. For a standard 80 aluminum you get 66.7 CF of breathable air (when you take out the reserve you should finish with). With the HP130s, you get 111.1 CF of breathable air. That is a HUGE different in terms of the length of your dive. Good stuff.
These retail over $400 each on the discount sites, not including any required shipping. They are (lightly) used, and require some inspections so I think $200 sounds like a pretty fair price.
I am in Sunnyvale. Could probably be talked into meeting halfway if you ask nicely.
If I left out anything crucial, just ask!
