I stopped at a LDS on my way home from work, just to look around and see what they might have that I might "need".
I have seen a few posts about diving twin steel 72's, and wouldn't you know it, they had a pair sitting there, with a manifold with J valve, plastic(?) backplate and harness. They had a price of $200 "as is". When asked about the "as is", the sales attendent came over, looked at it and said that it was out of hydro. And of course, the manifold probably needed looking at, and there was a possibility that the tanks might need to be tumbled.
Now, here is where I would like your comments/advice. I could probably make some sort of deal with them to purchase them, if they passed hydro and vis. However, I would have to pay their price for the hydro and vis, and possible tumbling. I know that I can get the hydro and vis done someplace else cheaper, but if they don't pass, then I am stuck with a pair of very expensive door stoppers.
Comments? Advice?
Thanks in advance.
