"Holy Grail Tanks" 1972 LP 104'S FOR SALE

Here is an immaculate set of 1972 vintage low pressure 104's with 6000 psi Sherwood DIN valves. Tanks just had VIP and last hydro date was January 2015. I will be headed to Cave country later this week and would be happy to drop them off for you. $500 for the pair

In recent discussions these tanks were considered the "Holy Grail" of dive tanks primarily for their buoyancy characteristics and volume capacity.

Feel free to call or text me if you have any questions or want to arrange pick up / drop off. 904-401-3204

If I were not on probation I would make some comment about "Holy Grail" and where that came from. But I am so I cant.

PS: Nothing negative about the seller or tanks intended by this no-so-inside-joke.

Were they once owned by the knights that say nee ?

no... I found them beneath a shrubbery. They had been carried there by a swallow... an African swallow I believe.

And now for something completely different.
I was just reading a magazine full of Pink Floyd history, and among other things, I learned that when Python came on the telly, everything at the recording studio (when Floyd members were there) came to a screeching halt. Loved that.

It is actually spelled "who", as in Knights who say Ni...

"And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, "O Lord, bless this thy hand grenade, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy." And the Lord did grin....."

I'll just be happy if some buys the tanks... who is interested? Free delivery to cave country/peacock area later this week.

How do these compare to a post '80 set of PST 104's? Mine seem very heavy compared to my LP95s.

I can't really compare since I havn't dove either the post 80' tanks nor the 95's... perhaps Forrest or Kelly can chime in, as they spoke very highly on this make of tanks.

They're lighter.

They tend to be lighter, and the COG is a little more toward the neck

I think the mid-80s era 104's are fine. I have a couple of sets of both and the tare weight seems about similar. It's the ones that started being produced in the mid-90s that are really heavy, and those E8's...

Price Drop $450
