They do not make them

like that anymore. They just keep going and going and going.



I have one tank which had the control changed three times it was installed sometime right after the war in the 40's. It is in a relatives house and is still working.



They have some pretty good junk value. Not sure what the per pound price is.

Monel tank

I took one in to my scrap dealer a couple of years ago and he said by the time they strip it down to the bare tank, it's not much weight. I think he gave me $30.



Fair? The guy that owns the scrap yard lives in a $2 million house. Maybe he's just a lot smarter than me.

another thought

If it's not leaking and you have a warm place to put it, just use it as a tempering tank to preheat your hot water.  It's a form of recycling that could pay a lot better!
