There were two alu 72's, as I understand it, both which were sold by USD.
The first one was the low pressure one you mention and a notorious floater
- I think High says somewhere they were 11lb. bouyant! It was the same
diameter as a steel 72, so it would fit the same backplate/strap. The later
ones were 3000 psi and appear to be, for all appearances, just slightly
scaled down 80's, and make nice stages. For some reason, most of the ones
I've seen were bright (unpainted) alu.

I got one for sale, if anyone really must have one :-)
