Dacor R-4 parts

[matt t.]

I recently aquired 2 very clean Dacor R-4 double hose regs. They appear to be in working order except that 1 needs an outer diaphragm. Looking on the intenet I'm finding it difficult to locate Dacor parts (as compared to the Aqualung, Voit, or Healthways parts). Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

They will be hard to find, keep looking. U S Divers and Voit regulators share a lot of commonality in parts and were also the most common of two hose regs produced and new parts are available but there isn't a sufficient demand for parts Dacor and and other brands of two hose regs to make new parts production economically feasible.

You ought to ask at VintageDoubleHose.com and VintageScubasuplly.com. You will find more members of the vintage diving community and some may have parts.

Also you can ask over there for Jerry Powel (aka Dacor Jerry) contact information. He may have all the parts you need.

BTW, are you aware that the Dacor double hose regulators are not known for having very good performance? I am not very familiar with the Dacor double hose, but they have a reputation for being built like tank and for being somewhat of hard breathers.

I know of some members of VDH and VSS who have been tinkering to try to improve there performance.

Good luck

I was about to refer you to Vintage Double Hose too!
Go ahead & register & ask all the questions you like, they're a friendly gang over there & some folks may have an inside line on parts.

Thanks for the tip on the other forums. I don't really care about the performance of the regs. I payed little enough for them that I thought they may be fun to mess around with once in a while, or at least look nice in a display. If I can't find the diaphragm reasonably priced, I can always sell them to someone for parts ans still come out ahead..
