I have in my basement a Nemrod regulator, Nemrod bouyancy compensator,
USD 80 cubic foot cylinder with J-valve, a pressure guage attached to
the regulator and a few related items. The equipment was new circa
1979, but has not been used since around 1983. After watching "Jaws"
with the kids many years ago, I checked the tank's pressure and bled
it down to perhaps 300-500psi LOL!
What to do with this old gear? I guess I'll never use it again and
it's taking up space. Is it saleable and does that make sense? Or
would it be better to dispose of the gear, and what would be the
safest way? I'm in northeastern Ontario, Canada.
To the best of my knowledge, Nemrod is out of business. That may mean that
the regulator and possibly the BC have little or no value. Take them by
your local dive shop and ask them if they can be serviced. If they can be,
they're probably worth selling. I'm not sure who made USD tanks. If it's
not Luxfer or Walter Kidde, then the tank may have value as well. You're
probably going to have to have it hydro and visually tested too.

If the equipment can be serviced and is functional, sell it on EBay.

Thank you for your reply, and also the other posters for their humor
and honesty. Hydrostat and e-Bay seem hardly worthwhile for a tank
that might fetch $100 max? I quess I'll be visiting the dump, or else
a local dive shop to see if they want a donation :) .

When I condemned some old AL tanks, I drilled a hole through the shoulder of each, rendering them unusable for anything but scrap.
