I guess I run a vintage steel 72 rescue center now.
A few months back a friend of mine gave me a 1974 USD 72 in excellent shape. I had it hydroed and it passed with flying colors.
Just yesterday another friend of mine gave me a 1959 USD complete with a Pico Blvd. L.A. CAL. address and a 1/2" pipe thread J-valve. I looked inside and it's pristine, and it's not coated. The outside is rusted to hell but not pitted. I'll blast it then take it in for hydro and see how it does. I'll bet it passes.
I'll need some leads as to what to do with a service with the valve, parts availability and such.
This is the first 1/2" that has been given to me. It has the top twist valve.
I have 7 steel 72's now. Even if I have 50 of them some day it won't be enough.
So please don't toss those old 72's,
drop them off at my 72 rescue center. We'll take all your sick or unwanted old steel 72's.
