1967 - 72’s.
Original paint and Voit stickers.
Matching set.
No epoxy liners inside- steel.
 
Aren't those "reserve" valves? Stop at a certain pressure until the "trigger" is pulled?

Yes those are J valves. Pull the rod down when it starts to get hard to breathe and you have about 400 psi left. I have no idea if these still work (the reserve part).
The problem with these particular ones is the burst discs are the small screw-in style with the hole on the front. I would need to change those out to the hex style with the holes on the sides but I don’t think there’s room for that newer style.
@herman HELP!!
 
I need to start going to your LDS!
Yeah buddy!
And to think a few years ago I almost wouldn’t set foot in the place when the old owner was there. Wow how things turn around, blows my mind sometimes.
A free DAAM and now two free ‘67 Voit tanks!
Their exact words were “ Get them out of here before we throw them in the dumpster”.
I’m speechless.
 
They’ve recognized you as a vintage gear collector.
 
OK, I know this sounds greedy... but you need to ask them what else is ready for the dumpster and clean out their "trash" bin.

‘Looks like both are galvanized too! What a nice find.
