I know one of you needs a show ready piece to complete a build.
This was kind of fun to rebuild and polish. Getting the original valve off was the hardest part, my socket bit the neck of the tank a little and the paint was already in rough shape so I decided to strip and polish it. If you look at the neck you can see a few remnants of where my socket got it but you have to be looking for them. There's a few small scratches still here and there but again, you have to be looking for them.
On/off is rebuilt (was leaking), I used buna because that's what I had on hand. I didn't have any way to get CO2 in it but I did pressurize it with 800psi HPA and it held just fine, took it off the asa and the on/off holds as well.
New 3k burst disk
I hear these tanks normally go for $50 so, let's go with $70 with the work done on this.
4/94 in case anyone wants to see the date, had to come in from outside to get the right light for that photo
