Safe air on deco, baby!

Post by dsteding »

My latest deco bottles. A blast from the past, and, no, I'm not stripping them.

Got them for cheap, cheap. Fresh hydro, and thermo valves. Just rebuild, clean, VIP, and rig. It is almost a shame to put MOD stickers on these things, maybe the "safe air" is enough?

You know it.

These are one of my finest purchases. $65 each, plus ~$15 for shipping from California. I'll have to spend some money on valve parts, but at least I can clean the tanks and valves myself.

Yup, Luxfer 40s vintage 1994. I doubt I'll double them up-one will be an O2 bottle, the other probably another 50% bottle.

See above, they are 1994 vintage, so ~6 years after Luxfer discontinued use of 6351-T6.
