yea, we already looked them up. Two 120 gallon tanks at $800 each.
Plus, I can see the plumbing would never come apart. I'm guessing a
couple hundred here for new fittings and pipe. This is a five horse
well and two inch plumbing.

Anyway, keeping them topped with air will have to do for a while. I've
been doing this 1/year with no trouble. I might have forgot last year.

Wel-X-trol used to make some pretty good bladder tanks. That is what my
Dad used to install with his jobs. Came from the local wholesale
supplier where he still had an "in".

The farm I worked on many years ago... just hooked up a light to the
pressure switch. When the light was on the pump was running (Doh!) and
it was pretty easy to deduce that something wasn't right when the light
was going on-off in a funny pattern. A simple delay switch might do the
trick too.
