I suspect this line is going to lengthen. Finding these is quite a challenge.

I'm not even looking for a minty one just one that is not broken

Short of biting the bullet and just buying a new one on evilbay, it's a long search.

I want to keep twist cap not flippy caps

Narrowing your search helps. Finding a nice one is far more difficult than one could imagine.

 

[skippysphins]

Any ideas

What's broke. Why not repair?

I fixed a broken front mount on one.

That looks like a hybrid 044/440 tank.

Almost all the commercial use Stihls around here have some damage to the 'footboard'. Cold weather + uneven ground = cracks.

Hope that helps believe it or not I actually got lucky about a year ago and bought a NOS 044 tank on ebay. Cost a chunk but it'll be perfect for 10mm 044 restore.

No problem. Hopefully doesn't go too high.

How much would you pay for that tank ?
Anybody can answer the price question for this tank on eBay

 

[Steven Trexler]

Judging by the three pictures in the ad I think with a little scotch brite and cleaner that tank would probably clean up descent and doesn't look like there's any damage. As far as price I think how bad you need or want it should factor in. I've paid anywhere from $75 to $175(that was for the NOS tank before shipping lol) for the tanks i've bought so it's hit and miss. With these things getting more rare in this condition I'd say if I needed it for a saw to be complete I wouldn't hesitate to spend somewhere in the 130ish range maybe a little higher if someone wanted to have a bidding war. But with the amount of people on here needing one and now that it's on here that there's one on ebay I kind of figure you may encounter someone with deep pockets who swoops it up but never know. When I first saw it I figured it would go in the 125-130 range with where it was at and how many days it had left.
