I am so hoping against hope that the original owner gets them back. Very very generous of you to go that avenue first.

It's a lot of money, I know. I also was thinking this to when I bought them. But they are it worth. The pipes are located in Belgium.
So if someone is interested, contact me by mail (see below), no p/m please.

And what appears to be a 4th regulator thrown in for free.

I think you're looking at the 4th drone which is pitched a 5th above the 3 other drones (i.e. G# or, in terms of a D set, A).

[Steve Pribyl]

PJ, you're right. Duh.
