    Default Metaframe/Pemco tank journals

    Send in those tank pics that speak vintage and classic design. Still trying to upload pics from my IPhone.
    Any suggestions or help how to do this on a mobile phone is aporeciated. Might need the app?

    I've been fortunate, I think to have found some nice and complete 60's and early seventies stainless steel tanks here in the Bay Area. They have the incandescent bulb w/housing and a cover on the back with the knockouts. Even have some original literature that was applied to the glass on a NOS tank. Will upload some soon. I might be wrong but the glass in older tanks appears clearer somehow.

    Post those pics!

    Post a picture when you dig it out. Don't know if I've seen a Jewel tank. Look forward to it.

    If you have the original back cover and SS light fixture that is gold! I'm interested if it's in good shape.. clear glass, no damage.
    Old tanks for an old fish couple (pair), perfect.
