I called around to a few places this morning. Some places didn't answer the phone and some didn't have any used ones. I found a place that had some and picked them up tonight. His business is in Costa Mesa I think but he lives in La Mirada. I picked them up from his house tonight. He drives all over SoCal so if you aren't close to those places maybe he could come to you or meet you somewhere. He said he drives about 100mi/day.

He said he has 20+ 10lb. extinguishers used. They were $50/each. He had less of the 5lb. size but I got one of them for $25.
Those prices are less than half new of what a new ones go for. They are certified with today's date. The 3 I got are all Amerex (the good stuff). The 10'ers have steel heads and the 5'er has an aluminum head.

Here is the info:

Professional Fire Protection
12700 Ocaso Av. La Mirada, CA 90638 (I think his shop is in Costa Mesa?)
714-381-3473
Tell him Dan Barcroft sent you so I get a better deal next time:flipoff2:

Sweet! I'm gonna jump on that in the am!

Keep an eye on the 'bay as well.

I scored a used, but charged, 10# Amerex for just under $50, shipped to my door.

I found a local place in town that will certify them for $6 ea. If the unit needs charging, they can do it for anywhere between $25 and $40 depending on the size of the bottle.

Sweet! I'm gonna jump on that in the am!I didn't ask him if he would ship...are you down here already?

If there was an interest I would be happy to bring my work truck out for the race.


I could easily show up with 25-50 charged 5lb, 10lb units, and a few halons.

My local fire and safety supply is renting me 10lb ext. for $10 each. Might be a possibility for others too.

I already got all of ours, but I talked to a lot of people that would either rent, or just loan them out for free, so ask!

I didn't ask him if he would ship...are you down here already?

We had some people dropping off our old 10 car at Jimco, but by the time I got a hold of them they were already on their way back to Salt Lake. I need to see if he will ship.
