HP tanks of that age are most likely PST. You can tell definitively by looking at the markings on the tank: you should see a PST test symbol, and they will say either SP9791 or (more likely) E9791. (Those two are used interchangeably: they stand for “special permit“ and “exemption“.)
Also at that age, they are highly likely to be the narrow 7/8 UNF necks. You can again tell definitively by looking for the pressure level in the markings: you will see either 3442 or 3500. These are highly likely to be the 3500, which are the narrow necks. The wider standard 3/4 NPS are the 3442s.
The biggest difference is that the 3500 tanks require 7/8 UNF valves. Those valves will only be 300 bar DIN — they are not convertible to yoke, nor can you purchase yoke valves for that tank. Single valves are not impossible to find, but not common. Manifolds for doubles are very difficult to find. Theoretically they can be purchased new, but I had absolutely all kinds of problems with that:
Blue Steel 7/8 UNF (narrow neck) manifold problems with PST tanks
I can’t speak to the trim difference between those and Faber tanks, seeing as I have never dove Faber HP 100 tanks before. However, the HP 100 PST tanks are quite popular and very much liked by those who dive them.
PST hot dipped galvanized steel tanks are very high-quality tanks. There are ignorant people who, because of completely misunderstanding issues with aluminum tanks from before the 1990s, think that scuba tanks can “get too old“ and need to be disposed of. That’s not true of proper aluminum tanks, and has never been a problem with steels. However, I am seeing more and more ignorant and greedy dive shops lean into that. Of course, they have a vested interest to sell your new scuba tanks….
However, those narrow necks are a hassle. They limit what you can do with them now and in the future. So I personally would not purchase them unless it was at a noticeable discount. If you keep your eyes open you can get standard neck HP 100 somewhat regularly. I personally would go out of my way to avoid acquiring more of them, unless the price is just too good to pass up. Which for me would probably be no more than $100 or so per tank. If I really, really needed the tanks, maybe I would pay $150. But if someone wanted more than that, I would just wait until I could find 3/4 NPS tanks.
