A friend gave me a 72 that had a liner, and the tank dude convinced me that it wasn't worth the hassle to remove it just to find out that it was rusted out. I figured I'd offer it up to you guys before I gave it to the art junkies on campus.
 
Anyone have a LP air system in your shop? An old inverted cylinder at the end of the air line makes a great volume tank to help compensate for line loss. The 72s with ½" CGA taper threads are a little easier to adapt. You can hack saw off a straight thread Scuba valve, drill, and tap for ¼" NPT to make an adapter if you also have an extra valve. I have one that failed hydro and it works great and stays dry because the inlet and outlet are on the bottom.
