New 72?

I was browsing eBay and found this: http://cgi.ebay.com/Faber-Steel-72-...177080935QQcategoryZ16057QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I was not aware that anyone still made 72s. How do these compare to the 'normal' classic 72s?

I'm no expert on forgein tanks, but it was made in Italy. I think that most of the tanks in Europe are often steel tanks. Maybe they still make steel 72's "over there".

I have a set of Faber 72s - they are commonly available and are shorter, fatter and lighter than "old" 72s. They are a medium pressure tank (3300 psi including the +) and are 20.4" long 6.7" diameter, 28.7 lbs empty and ahve bouyancy swing of -4.35 lbs full to .9 lbs empty. PST makes a MP 72 that has similar specs.

Ah. Way different than the old ones, it seems.

I have a faber 72 and love it. This tank will need a hydro $40 and valve around $30-40 and shipping . You would be better off getting a used galvanized 72 steel that sometimes will last a lifetime.. Otherwise it is a good deal if you demand a never used tank.
