Gene,
So the one I bought off eBay for $100 was a good deal, eh? ;-)

So I was replacing my OEM air bags on my 73-23 with non-OEM bags, because
the OEM bags will allow the tire to hit the wheel liner and caused damage,
shown here:
http://goo.gl/8QShB.
so I thought, what do OEM bags cost these days? None of our vendors list a
price.
So I called "an old vendor" and asked them what a new OEM air bag cost,
today ???
one OEM air bag = $809 each with cones !
for that much money I got a new system for the whole coach:
2 air bags (not OEM)
4 cones
2 schrader and shutoff assemblies
1 wireless air system with controls and pump

sometimes change is good

Just bought a brand new one with cones for $150. Don't get me wrong, I like all of the alternatives and it gives us choices, but the originals will be around for longer than I'll be alive.

When we bought our '74 it came with a bunch of "spare" parts. Turned out the "spares" were not spare but items needed but not yet installed. EXCEPT for the 4 spare airbags. 3 new in the boxes, two of those with aluminum cones. The bags on the '74 were in good condition but with plastic cones (since swapped out for the Aluminum ones). Some days ya win. (the bags on the '75 also look good but have not yet been removed and inspected.)
