Old school backplates

[Pinkpadigal]

We have received several old tanks in lately with backplates from the 1970's. These are the hard plastic plate with metal tank straps. I have 2-3 of them. If you would like to take them off my hands, let me know.

I also have several condemned tanks, mostly rusted steel 72's. If you want to use them for art projects and such, call me.

Thanks

Gee whiz, Amy! Why on Earth would you want to get rid of treasures like that! They were the "bee's knees" and the "cat's meow"!!!

Hee Hee Hee....I still have a couple of them out in the garage - one for a set of doubles....gathering dust! I figure that someday they'd be wanted for an exhibit of antique dive gear!

John,

Does that mean you were diving them when they were new?

Probably so....I know that my doubles backplate was new, because Ginny gave it to me for my birthday one year....a long time ago...in a galaxy far, far away....
