Rebuilt/overhauled two valves, VIP'ed three tanks (2x MI 80s, 1x CAT 17).
The 80s were new acquisition craigslist bargain finds I had hydro tested last month so first inspection for me (one at 59 months, one at 57 months but hell, give up a couple months and do it in one trip to the fire extinguisher service shop across town). Cleaned, rubbed vigorously with various rubbing compounds to get the "fish scale" etching out of the paint (damnable tank mesh wraps) and carnuba wax for that shiny, fresh-from-shop appeal. I think they tuned out good for a cheap purchase.
Oh, hi, Simon. Welcome back.
