You can get good used ones and as suggested clean them and use better solder than days of old. I would make them like the originals to beef up the neck where they always vibrate loose and leak.
Nick - don't you make these or refurbished ones?

Cobra Restorers also has them: http://www.cobrarestorers.com/ (search for "tank" and it will come up). I posted the link originally but it doesn't work to link directly to the product.
