I just sold the last one.
This is why I suggested you not worry about the rubber bits, they are rarely usable, esp the duckbill. If it's stuck to the cans, the easiest way to remove it is to pull off the easy stuff, then soak it over night in denatured alcohol, it will come off easily after that.
And that IS a long yoke. I have used them at 3k before.
I thought Rob had some reproduction banjoes....seems he does.. These are brand new chrome plate

Thanks for the info. Herman. While I have you’re ear can you tell me if I need to invest in any tooling other than what I have to service all my single hose regs?
 
I just ordered the banjo fitting from The Scuba Museum and realized their location is only about 40 minutes from my house. Pretty cool!

If I was that close, I would look into shopping in person! I have to restrain myself every time I look at their online store, lol.
 
Here is my cart at VDH. Should I purchase a new mouthpiece and hoses or clean mine up and give it a go? Also, for the life of me I can’t find the single stage diaphragm on the VDH site? Can anyone think of anything else I should purchase to complete this regulator?

I didn't see the Diaphragm on VDH either... He may be out. Rob at The Scuba Museum shows some in stock though; About Us
If I had the spending money, I'd do a new hose loop (mouthpiece and hoses), but I used Bryan's washing machine method to clean up old hoses/mouthpiece, and they are doing ok for me. Just make sure you inspect carefully for pinholes or tears in the hoses. You might want new mushroom valves for the mouthpiece, regardless.
If you don't have any luck with the diaphragm, let me know. I have one not in use, that I would let go at cost if you're out of options.
Also, did you get a band clamp for it? Far easier to deal with than the c-clips.
Respectfully,
James
 
DSV/new hoses (unless you really like that crappy old taste) - IMHO, this is so worth it to have

New HP Diaphragm

Can clamp (replaces the c-clips holding the can halves together)

new body to can gasket (likely shot)
