Randy, you have heard of my Rule Number One, my Option Number One, but have
you heard of my Fact Number One: "If you hear it from the dive industry,
dive instructor or dive shop, it is probably wrong". Never buy anything
without checking with the pros, and that by definition excludes all but a
tiny few in the dive business.

Bad news George. I'm a dumb-ass! I thought those were the same as the PST
104s. I didn't bother to research them until after I bought them. And then I
still wasn't sure because the specs on the net are not consistent. That's
why I asked for some first hand opinions. Everyone says they're too heavy
and not to use them. The good news is I was able to resell them at no loss
without taking delivery. The last thing I need around here is more junk that
I can't (or don't want) to use.

Thanks for the fast response from those who answered my question about this.
Saved me almost $100 in crating and shipping costs.

-Randy

Randy, these people really think you bought the Heisers. You should not have
stopped there - you should have said you got a set of 100 pound bondage
wings and an MLS light with them. Too funny. This reminds me of when Rod
Farb recommended using a "helium lock" on doubles when one of the New
England boat monkeys said the helium leaks out and leaves the rest of the
gas. I guess these guys will have to be around for another ten years to
appreciate your sense of humor.

I'm selling a set of double 80s with isolator manifold. Check ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1822658978. You can
choose between the Sherwood DIN with Isolator or Sea Elite Manifold. I
rarely dive these tanks, because it takes too much lead to sink me and my
drysuit. I normally dive 104s.

I just bought a set of 104s, but they are the Heiser 104s, not the Pressed
Steel. I believe that the Heisers are made from steel tubing (and maybe have
flat bottoms?). I also understand that Heiser 104s are heavier than Pressed
Steel 104s, but seem to be about the same size. My question is am I going to
be as happy with these tanks as I am with my old pst 104s, or will these end
up collecting dust like my 80s?

Sincerely,
C. Randy Bohrer
