Help With Tanks

[-JD-]

I hear you, I had a deal slip through my fingers last year still haunts me. A set of 120 doubles for $100.

I thought about throwing the 72's up, we'll see.

The ever-rare 7/8 Manifold! Yea, that sounds like a tough loss ...

Rob, of all the ALs. only the 30 is the new alloy; scrap the others, they are not worth the trouble.
I can't tell what the valves are on the ones you should scrap, but I hate to throw valves away!

Agreed 100%

If shipping wouldn't murder me, I'd probably take the 72's off your hands.

If it wasn't, you would have my recent gift (1958 USD 72 w/ 1/2" thread with no requalification stamps) on your doorstep....

Is my cylinder made from the "bad" alloy aka AL6351?

This was a good read, especially the paper at the end. It lists when the changeover was from Luxfer. Thanks for sharing

Bummer, the S92 tank I got missed the date by 7 months. It was born 9-87, the changeover was 4-88

Not a huge deal, I don't dive any AL tanks, but it would have been nice to give to someone who could. Feels funny getting rid of tanks.

there is scrap value in aluminum..... it can fund more tanks...

P.S. - aluminum tanks make crappy wind chimes...

Wind chimes are a curse anyway... those things drive me bonkers.

I use the crowns of old tanks as display stands for regulators...

This is from The Scuba Museum's sales page:

Pretty good ideas... I guess now I need to go collect more regulators
