Re: How much would you spend on a used AL80?
I bought two new Catalina Al80s last year at $150 ea. So $80-100 would be fair for a very good cylinder. My old Kidde Neutrabouy was nothing more than a bomb ready to go off. If the aluminium cylinder is more than 10 years old, drill a hole in it, and take it to the scrapyard. Various European Navies are putting programs in place to deadline all aluminium cylinders after 10 years if they pass hydro or not. They have found that the aluminium weakens after 10 years of use, and most of the failures started occuring around the 2nd-3rd hydro period.
I have killed a number of Ebay auctions for cylinders, where the cylinders turned out to be those Kidde bombs. With the current aluminium prices, a Al80 will net around $25 for scrap.
