Sam Chicklets Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 Just curious as to who has what for antique equipment. I just picked up some interesting stuff at a garage sale. I have more photos to come. I know Christian (Toirtise) collects this stuff and can give ball park figures on vintage. 5 gallon slate bottom tank, Elephant thermostat to control heaters, and an old Longlife box filter.

nyb440 Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 I used to have a metal frame tank like that, with the vintage accessories, too. Unfortunately, I left it in my parents' basement and it got tossed out during one of their cleaning expeditions. Mine had the stainless steel lid. Boy was it fun when the light developed a short!

Vallisneria Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 (edited) I have a stainless steel framed 5g that I got at a garage sale. Looking for a stainless canopy for it. Anyone have one???? Edited June 2, 2008 by degrassi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slough Shark Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 I'm sure the world is starting to run out of old treasures like these. So it's good that some people are keeping theirs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toirtis Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Tank is likely circa '45-'60, the filter was available i the 70's, but I would like to see more pics of the thermostat/heater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Chicklets Posted June 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Some more stuff 10 gallon fishplate aluminum lid 15 gallon aluminum fishplate flourescent canopy. I'm not sure if it's original but still old. Stainless light fixture for 15 gallon, I should have cleaned it first. I have more yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
