oldypigeonpopper Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 Hello, this is not the usual PCP charging cylinder type we use but I purchased 5 years ago with a full test by a company in the Midlands, now out of test and Oxford Dive shop refused to Re Test and not a reason although I think wanted me to buy a new cylinder kit ££££ssss, I declined anyway, any PW member know on cylinder testing, or could I sell with no test, ?

Ian willetts Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 Have you got a airsoft set up nearby they may fill with no test I did a job for a lad who does a lot of it and he said they test them and fill them so might be worth a look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultrastu Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 Thing is .who would buy an out of test cylinder .? And for what money . To my mind an out of test cylinder is worth nothing and only fit to give away . Say I buy your cylinder for £ 50 And a test costs me £50 (current going rate ) and it fails and is scrapped . I'm now £100 down and have no cylinder . Your best option is to test it your self for the £50 and then sell it for £100 -150 depending on size etc . You take the test risk and reward if successful . A bottle that no one wants to test is worth less than £ zero in my opinion . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottles out of date and no second mask. He was advised to scrap the lot as worthless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
