WHO NEEDS TANKS!!!?? Perfect Brand Tanks For Sale
In getting back into the garage to look for something and to do some cleaning and organizing, I find myself over flowing with small Perfect brand tanks. Lots of sizes, wedges and squares, new in box, some might ne new but no box and tarnished. I had purged this collection once in the last 5 years or so and thought I was down to just what I thought I might use or my son might use, but they must have reproduced!!
I don't have an inventory yet, not sure how long it will take me to sort them and try to figure out the sizes, but if you are looking for any and at least know how long the tank you want needs to be we can go from there. Perfect tanks start at 1/4 ounce and go up from there and were called out on a lot of 1/2A kit plans, so if you are building that dream kit from when you were a kid I may just have the tank for it. forum rules require a price, so I'm going to keep this simple, I hope!! Brodak makes replicas of the 1'4 and 3/8 ounce tank, ( and maybe more, I didn't look through the whole list,) and their tanks start out at $14.99. I'm going to price any tank out of this group that is New In Box at half of that, $7.50. Any tank out of this box that is not new in box will be half of that, or $3.75. I have square tanks that go up to 4 ounces or more I think, and down to the smaller ranges so if those suit your needs for a scale model or anything that doesn't need to stunt, let me know what you are looking for. All sales final. Some of these tanks might look tarnished on the outside but a good soaking with some white vinegar and if you have access to an ultrasonic cleaner, the insides should be clean enough to be operable. For $3.75 it's worth a little effort.
I'm just trying to make some room for myself and get these onto the hands of anyone that might need them and want to do it as quickly and easily as possible. I'm starting to get back on my feet after a knee rebuild, and I hope to be spending more time flying for the rest of the summer. The days start to get shorter from here on out so I don't want to waste a second of day light!! I haven't counted them all up yet but there may be in excess of 100 tanks here.
Payment can be arranged most any old way, PayPal preferred, and buyer pays actual shipping. After I box your stuff up I will get a shipping quote for the least expensive way and let you know. I use Pirateship.com and they have proven to save me and you some time and money. With shipping rates they way they are, even on Pirateship, you may want to buy extra, as shipping one or two may be the same as 5 or 6, depending on the tank size.
Thanks for looking!

How many of the metal tanks do you have that are new and un-tarnished, up to aprx. 1.5oz? We don't need any of the boxes that they came in.

I would have to do a precise inventory. I'll try to get to that asap and get back to you. I was hoping for some flying weather by mother nature is sending us water instead, so I should get the opportunity to do that this weekend.

Re: WHO NEEDS TANKS!!!?? Perfect Brand Tanks For Sale
Thanks Dan and don't need a precise # initially and ballpark is fine, like 50, 100, 200 etc.
It is just that, if only a dozen or two, then it may not be worth it for us as resellers, as the per-piece price for shipping low quantities becomes expensive.

Hi Dan:
If you still have tanks, I could use a few for 1/2A engines. I would like wedge tanks with a capacity of around 1/2 oz. Please let me know what you have and how many.
Thanks

I just shipped off all the "new" tanks yesterday. let me go through what I have left and see what might be acceptable for you to use. In the mean time, send me a PM with your email address so I can email photos of whatever I might find. These might take some cleaning and servicing but should still be usable.
Thanks a lot!!

Re: WHO NEEDS TANKS!!!?? Perfect Brand Tanks For Sale
Just to update, all the "new" tanks have been sold. I still have all sorts of other tanks that have started to tarnish, but could be cleaned up and used. I also have a big bag of the Perfect square tanks in many sizes, good for scale models or anything that does not need to inverted. Just let me know what your needs are and we can figure it out.
Thank you very much!
Type at you later,
Dan McEntee
