Folks do the math, these are MP72s. And remember they are a full 72 at 3300psi.
For the OP. The MP72 are okay cylinders as singles. LP66 have better buoyancy characteristics. I had set of them as doubles years ago and sold them (with bands and a face sealing manifold) for $300. Probably worth about the same may be less $50 without the bands and manifold.

I have seen these type mid pressure tanks a couple times. They are a little heavier. They would make ok sidemount tanks for drysuit diving, or CCR bailout with helium.
They are fabulous cold water sump tanks. Might be hard to find a buyer in SC as they are a niche cylinder.

They predate Blue Steel, and may not be the exact same specs. The old buoyancy specs are -3.7 to -8.45 which seemed to be right when I was diving my buddy's. I liked diving them, especially for hiking into a dive site, cold water.

Look like nice tanks
I definitely would dive then,
To bad they aren't north of the border I would buy them.

The 3000#, 3300# with the +, was Faber's first MP tanks, later they built 3180# tanks, 3498# with the +. Since they are 3AA tanks, they are heavy and have very negative buoyancy chactoristics. I can get a lot of lead off the belt with the 120s I have.

Saw your post about the 3000 psi nonstandard size faber 72s - I may be able to get bands to double them, wondering if you’re interested in selling?
Hey there, I have a set of Faber LP72 Tanks and was wondering if anyone had input on what they are worth if i were to sell them. They are smaller in circumference than the typical LP72. AL40 rigging fits them. Just had VIP and Hydro done 12/2020. They have thermo modular valves. All the information is below:
