Guest Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Most reserve manufactures will life the reseve to 5 years if I am not mistaken. This reserve was produced in 95. Even if it sold for £9.99 would you be happy with it? SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norman Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 As a demo unit - training aid perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmer_Dave Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Tatty old wing is one thing. It'll let you down slowly, bit by bit, as it gets more porous. Reserve opens with a hell of a bang. If it rips? Maybe it could be tested to see if it's worth relying on but am not sure of that. I'd like to know more. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norman Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 The point behind having a reserve is piece of mind. Wouldn't you always look at it and say, "That thing is as my white muzzled farty old Labrador, would it work?" As a demonstration piece it has a new life, maybe even as a decoration in a bar. As a lifesaver, as Simon says, I don't think it is worth its weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
