If you're still looking at this thread ...

'57 tank is different. Best bet is to buy a new tank from one of our vendors. Any old tank is likely to have issues. I have new tanks in both my '49's and no issues with either of them. Even if you do find a decent original tank, by the time you get done screwing around with tank sealers, dipping or constantly buying new filters, or finding out after a few weeks it still leaks ... you might as well just spend the money up front for a new tank and avoid the hassles.
