buldawg76,
Thanks for those.
I will wait until the tank comes back from hydro to buy a new connector. I dropped off the tank tuesday 11 May, it should be ready today or tomorrow.

I can't say this strong enough. Get the Stikman fill assembly and be done with it. Yes, you'll have to spend just a little more initially, but the benefits are overwhelming and well worth the difference verses China or any others out there.
Travis turned me onto this one ~ four years ago. It is very compact in comparison to any others which is really convenient. It has a very long micro hose that is the most convenient thing. It has a spare port you can store the female Foster in to keep it out of the dirt always, and can keep the hose coiled up. With that spare port you can also maximize the use of two tanks before a dive shop trip is required, That spare port also has a check valve, which allows you start out with your tank valve open when refilling with a compressor, a major plus, and this eliminates blown burst disk on the compressor. It is hand tight so you can easily adjust the gauge position. The release pressure blows out the back of it instead of in your face like many others, yuck. It comes with a very nice pouch and spare parts, which I have never needed.
I have two other fill assemblies from other vendors for multiple tanks , but I dislike them a lot and will unscrew my Stikman and swap to other tanks just to be able to use the Stikman instead. It's that much better.
And the best part, the service is unmatched. I now have my check valve sticking a little after four years of use. I emailed the company asking if the check valve they had listed would fit my Stikman. They never responded to the email, but called me directly instead asking what was wrong specifically. I told them and Gene said I could fix it, but he preferred I send it in for repairs free of charge. I told him I cracked the gauge face, too. He said that's more the reason to send it in that it doesn't matter, still all free of charge ,and will FedEx back in just a day or two at the most so I wouldn't be without it long. WOW, I never needed to contact them before, but glad I did.

So the tank came back from hydro just fine. $25 and two day turnaround - I really recommend General Fire & Safety in Omaha if you're in the area.
I ordered a brass CGA 347 nut & nipple, should be here next week. I'll get a Stickman and a new tank if I'm still in the hobby a few months from now.
FWIW, I am 95% sure that the Draeger / Drager SCBA tank neck thread size is 7/8-14 UNF 2A for future reference. I had GF&S leave the SCBA valve loose and I measured it using a ruler. I can be certain it is not an M18-1.5 thread. So if you buy a tank off ebay, the Asian/European-spec SCBA/SCUBA valves will not work.
