Agree in spades....And they deserve far better than being relegated to the single hose section........

Hi eric,

Both the regs and the tanks are fantastic and both look in very good condition as well. No issues filling at a dive shop?

I am thinking these tanks are Aluminum. Are these French military issue or did Spiro sell these aluminum tanks to both the French military and general public?

One CG is in Vg condition and breath great (i have rebuilt it), the other is a little bit harder. The Triple is in like new condition, made of aluminium, AG5 type. In France, you can no longer use AG5 aluminium, and you can't hydro tested them....so you have to fill them with your own compressor.
La Spirotechnique made 2 "lines" of aluminium tanks, one for general public and one for military.
This set is the "Triple Madame" set, 3x about 4,5liters (can't check at the moment and don't remember...), it was called "Madame" because of his light weight (perfect for my old back :wink: )
