Steel 60?

[DriverDiver]

Anybody know anything about low pressure 60 tanks? Found a pair of them for cheap, old but fresh hydro. However I can find next to nothing about them online.

Try to post physical dimensions. Seems like a fair amount of confusion on tanks like these.

Also post up the tank markings. Preferably pictures of the markings. They could be LP66.

I'm trying to get him to send me a better pic

Ok so the markings on the first one are
DOT-3aa2250
HJ 189619
Original hydro 1/70 with a manufacturer's mark shaped like a diamond
The other is similar but made by PST (Pst hydro stamp)

I'm thinking they are lp72s

Can you get a height of the tank and circumference?

If you mean an old steel 72, I would agree. The 2400# service pressure LP tanks ( 2640# @+10%) came out some time later. The old 72 was about 67 cuft at plus 10% and around 65 cuft at the 2250# service pressure, and neutral when empty.

I like them for shallow shore dives since they are only 25# (empty) to hike into a dive site.

They are definitely lp72s. Now my question is what would be a fair offer for the pair? They have a 4 years left on the hydro and are in vis. Not the prettiest tanks ever though.

$50-$75 each ...
