Wanted PST Steel 72 "Winebottle" tanks.

[Pat Regan]

Anyhoo, doesn't look like I'm gonna get Captain Tracy's tanks. I'll try to survive... somehow. Meanwhile, I'm obviously still looking so if anybody out there has any winebottle tanks, please give me a shout.

VBR,

Pat

Sorry, you are correct. I don't dive them, they sit in the corner. Right between my champagne bottom 72s and my triples.
They are actually doubles. Matching set with tapered post valves and a cheater manifold.
But I like them.
If I find more, I will post here, I don't need anymore.

Tracy, I (and a couple of my friends following this thread) would really like to see your vintage winebottle duals. Howsabout posting some pics?

Two showing both sides of the whole rig would be nice.

A couple showing the tank stampings would be ideal.

We'd like to see that cheater manifold, too. Is it one of those with a thin stainless tube formed in a circle; or one of those that's basically just a straight tube, by any chance? (I forget what they're called.)

What say, ol' salt? Can we see 'em?

Sure, I will dig them out. The cheater is just a US divers straight tube with the thin yoke on each end and the single outlet yoke in the center. It probably isn't period correct for the tanks, it is just how I aquired them.

Cool! Thanks!

Received your PM and replied. If they have the concave "winebottle" base, I'm interested. Let me know. Thanks.

but this pair might be what you're looking for? maybe?

Thanks TMurr. The tanks shown at the link you provided appear to have convex bases; not the kind I'm looking for but thanks for trying.

Folks, I need one more winebottle to finish a set of duals I'm building for a 20,000 Leagues event I'm planning for 2024. That's the last set I plan to build and I'm willing to pay more than a good price for a useable vintage tank. Please, if you have one sitting around gathering dust, I have a real need for one. We'll actually be diving it. But it's not going to happen if I don't get some help.

This thread will remain up and if I ever do find one I'll be sure to mention it here.

As for now: still looking.

Hi. Just bumping-up my request for a PST "winebottle" steel 72; circa 1953 to early 1954; USD Rene or Aqua Lung Inc.

I need one more to complete three sets of duals for my 20,000 Leagues rigs; one Nemo, one Crowntop, and one Baldy.

The plan is to film all three rigs with the Nautilus Minisub underwater here in Hawaii.

These tanks are rare but some folks say they aren't especially valuable except to collectors who find the concave base interesting for one reason or another.

To me, these are the tanks Disney used to film 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. I've managed to acquire five over the years and need one more. I have a few friends who are on the lookout for me, but thought I'd repost the word here.

Please. If you have one you don't really need, I have a real need for it. This is a very cool project and all I need is one more tank to finish it.

Thanks,
