    Default Needed: 2 Steel 85 for side mount rig.

    I'd like them to be less than 5 years old.

    There's a deal going on scubaboard and decostop for new ones for $170 plus shipping. I ordered two, and they were $200 each shipped including valves. Delivery was very prompt.

    Wasn't sure if that would violate Rule 5, but in any case DeWayne has covered it.

    There was a rash of used 85s for sale earlier in the year, then they seemed to dry up. I'm going to manifold my two together at least initially. We used them at Bikini, and I recall that they were pretty nice in the water.

    If you don't want the valves, it is only $10 cheaper, so I went ahead and got the valves for spares.

    Take care,

    I had the same thoughts but figured I'd give it a try. If it got pulled I could always PM it to him. Andy does have a web site if I'm not mistaken. I just happened across that info and thought I would pass it along. If I see his url I will send it as well.

    Were they OMS 85's(grey) or standard Faber 80's(white)? The OMS are 7" diameter, the Faber are 7.25".

    I never saw any mention to this. I have a hunch that they were the white version, but this is just a hunch. You would have to contact Andy or someone who bought some to be sure.
