I know this has been talked about quite a bit, but does anyone have these in stock, anywhere?

Talk about a supply and demand missed opportunity!

Check with http://www.diversdirect.com/ I ordered one from there about 6 weeks ago and at the time they said they had plenty in stock. They are not advertised on their site so you have to call or email.

I ordered an E7-100 from my local LDS July 3rd and I'm still waitnig. He told me it might make it by November back in July. He even fished around some other shops in FL. No luck.

I noticed DiveRite pushed their expected delivery from October to January. Not a good sign. I'm bummed.

Good time to sell one if you have one. Its a seller's market right now. Good luck on your search.

The last I heard from the Sacramento CA dive shops the factory was backed up.... BTW how about a price check.. I would love to get 2 of these then double them later.

I was told today that the delay for the Pressed Steel tanks is because their building has been condemned. Can anyone confirm this??

I'm on the waiting list for an E-700 from a few different shops. In the meantime, I picked up an aluminum 80, just until I get the PST. (i needed a new tank now)

Hmmm... I was considering selling mine. Maybe I should auction it off to the highest bidder.

Sport Chalet also said they won't have any PST tanks until December. I have heard from 3 different sources now that PST can't produce tanks due to the steel shortage.

Iv'e been looking for a 100 too!

There is a January 2003 article in the Milwaukee Business Journal about PST. Apparently the city of West Allis, WI wants their property. The story is dated January 2003. I'm guessing its still in litigation. I did not find any current updates. I don't know if this is having an impact on their production.

Here is the link to the story for your information.http://www.bizjournals.com/milwaukee/stories/2003/01/20/story5.html

They are going for around $336.00. Here is a link to DiveRite Express They did have 80's in stock.
