-Genesis yoke valves
-Original hydro 04/97
-Current hydro 09/08
-Current VIP, but not O2 cleaned.

Asking $250 O.B.O. for the pair, willing to entertain trade suggestions.

Attachment 3

Thanks,
Jim

Did I read correctly, that the tanks are out of hydro? 09/08

No, the most recent hydro was September 2008, so they aren't due again for hydro until September 2013.

Sorry, newbie confusion; I figured the date on the bottles was when it ran out...........

Jim, buy a set of 130's instead of the 119's. Most of us are now diving 130's. From an Equipment Match and Teaming perspective for Technical diving that would be a recommended config.

Hey Jim,

When you get your new tanks I have a set of used OMS bands for sale if your interested

I concur..Don't bother with the 119's..The 130's are the way to go...

Serge, thanks for the offer, but I already have bands and manifold sitting here waiting for my tanks.

Chris, if I could find a set of used 130's at anything less than 90% of retail, I'd consider it. I have the 119's coming for $400 for the pair of them, with a brand new hydro on them. The 4 to 5 hundred bucks I'm going to save getting these over 130's, will pay for a good chunk of the class. If they get me through the class and this season, then they owe me nothing and the following year I'll look at the 130's, and set the 119's aside as "backup" doubles or break them down for singles.
