Looking for vintage doubles manifold parts.

[Eric Sedletzky]

My dive shop gave me an old US Divers single center post manifold that I want to get fixed up so I can put a couple steel 72’s together.
I pulled out the burst discs knowing those needed to be changed, and while I was at it decided to tear down the rest of it and see what else it needed.
The seats for both the main valve and the J valve look OK and I’m going to run them. The other soft parts need to be replaced, some were crispy.
So, does anybody know a source where I might be able to find this stuff?

@Eric Sedletzky,

I purchased my solid-bar, single-outlet U.S. Divers J-valve manifold (NOS) from The Scuba Museum last year or the year before. I also purchased a rebuild kit from them and a pull-rod.

If they don't have what you need, you might try NESS.

Thank you!!

I wonder if NESS gets their kits from Trident?
I’ll also look in the Trident catalog.

What specific parts do you need? I can look in my bin-o-dive-parts.

I’ll set the parts out on a paper tomorrow and take a photo. We can discuss then.

Yes, the PN 280095 "Twin Manifold w/Reserve Repair Kit" (3,000 psig service) is what I purchased from TSM.

Just ordered a kit from Rob at TSM
Can’t wait to put that set of 72’s together!
I’m going to mount them on a specially made Freedom Plate.
Now you won’t see me for three hours and/or three big bags later of urchins !

I have a set of small AL tanks with the solid manifold on them. Here's what they look like:

But...I just yesterday spent most of an hour trying to get them back together. Getting that second cylinder to screw onto the manifold is a bear! I suggest that it be a two-person job, as with only one person getting it alligned is difficult.
