Pics of the LP85 I bought...whaddya think?

[fishmunger]

wow even better...no one has any guess as to brand?

LP85s are either 7" (e.g. Faber) or 7.25" (e.g. Worthington) AFAIK. Definitely doesn't sound like an 85.

A rubber mallet with a 2x4 inch lumber block can handle it within 10 sec.....

Sounds like a good deal. Don't repaint it.

No scratches = Newbie tank

DOT-3AA 2400 B 134996 (funny diamond shaped-thing with a "c" inside) GALV 7A94+

its 8" wide and 24" tall

Nate

nate, i hope someone who knows tanks better than i do comes along, but i think the "7A94+" means that this tank was made in July of 1994, with a "plus" rating (2400 + 10%)

but it does look like it lost the "+" rating on the latest hydro (2007)

could you provide a clear picture of the funny diamond shape with a C in it? that is probably the original inspection service mark, and we can figure out who the manufacturer is from there. or it could be a manufacturer's symbol, since it is after the serial number, and original inspection marks are usually given before the serial number

does it look at all like a tiny arrowhead?

yeah i couldn't get a picture of it because the yellow color doesn't let it show up in pics. It does kind of look like a little arrowhed. it's diamond shaped, with a "C" inside of the diamond and the symbol is the same size as the serial numbers...

scroll down to the bottom of this page and see if it looks like any of these markings:

A diamond with a C inside is a Coyne cylinder... according to my PSI books....
