Yeah, I sort of thought they may standardize across the board, but what you say makes logical sense. Could be our Shell Corena P150 is imported, I will have a look next drum I get. Speaking of which Shell has upgraded it now to Corena 2P 150 - the rep I spoke to last said it pretty much...

Interesting, is that Chem-lube 501B Wookie.? I dont see Bauer Germany recommending any Chemlube lubricants on their lubricant chart? Locally most people use Anderol 755 (Synthetic) or Shell Corena P 150 as a mineral, depending on what you are using. I have often toyed with the idea of using...

I have to say its quite an intriguing situation. Firstly, I would have to say Euro cylinders are a very respected manufacturer, I have bought literally hundreds of cylinders from them from as far back as the early 90's when they were known as "Apolda". These guys literally work on 4-6 months...

No you wont find that model anywhere anymore, its pre 93 for sure. I think Sherwood called the series the "Sigma series" and it came in a number of versions, 200ft and 150ft depth gauge, with that small digital timer or with a Source or Encore computer and obviously in a four gauge configuration...

I just took a quick look but those gauges appear to be made by Mega-sport in Italy. http://www.mega-sport.it/mega/Index.htm A super manufacturer of diving gauges, I have been a supporter and purchaser of their gauges for many years, you can rest assured these are quality gauges.

Hmm, I see bids sit at $255.00 - just the motor is worth that. Visually it dos not look that bad, were I closer I would take a gamble on it, they are easy to work on and you can still get parts for these old machines in Europe and the UK, even if you have to go second hand on some, it would...

Yes, you mainly need the disc. Theres generally two sizes of burst discs 3/8' and 1/2 inch the 3/8' is generally found in the 3 piece configeration and the 1/2' in a one piece. As for the plug always been replaced, well, I have over 200 cylinders all with 3/8' burst disc's in my business and I...

Yeah, very true, things today tend to have a much shorter life span, why I dont know.! Just as an aside I also found this old Pennform console, now this was a great unit, you could adapt it to fit any dimension gauge and compass by cutting the ribs on the lower case to hold the modules...

Yes, thinking back I can remember that, I didnt know about the charger though. I will take mine for a dive tomorrow or thursday and see how it go's, I tossed it in the pool and it registres depth etc, so I think it will be fine - considering it hasnt been in the water for gee, I dont know, 20...

Just as a matter of interest, that is not the original battery, the unit is from the late 80's but the battery has been changed before, probably more than once and most likely by the then Beuchat agents in the USA. The way you can tell is by the Marlin emblem, look carefully and you will see...

Yes, that will be fine, the main thing is the battery has solder tabs. Just solder the wires directly to the tabs. No, theres no oil in the battery area compartment, its a very basic user changeable battery. Caps, no, I havent seen a new one for years, I guess there will be some ferreted...

....box and I came across two of these old computers. Anybody remember them, still got one maybe.? Its an old Dacor Micro Brain, I estimate I got them in the 80's sometime, mid 80 maybe, it was as far as I know Dacors very first effort at a dive computer and a fine example it was too, a...

Yes, it would also drive me batty. But in reality I am surprised its allowed by the local ordinance, here you are not allowed to operate a commercial business in a residential area, you may apply to get a license to run a small office based business, but the local ordinace would close down...

Yes, I also had a few Roth's laying around here. They were very popular in Europe in the 1990's especially France, but I havent seen one for a long time now even on the used market.

Yes, agree, Jos Heiser (Austria) also made the "Beuchat" cylinders back in the day and they were ridiculously heavy, from discussions with Heiser during the past 5 odd years though, they no longer make scuba cylinders in the Austria factory, but I guess there are still lots on the used market...

I wouldnt toss the filters until can ascertain how old they are. It is true that even new filters have a life span, but its quite substantial and as long as they are still in a sealed bag it can be two years. Somewhere on the box or bag you will find a series of numbers, call the...

You get proprietary tank inspection lights, but an easy home method is to rig a small 12v globe onto a long lead wound around a length of wire and drop it down into the cylinder. ...But I dont understand why you want to do all this is its passed hydro, surely they would have brushed and...

Very wide ranging questions, but yes if it passed Hydro it should be fine and I would use it. As others have said its most likely a Faber cylinder and if it was made for the European market it will have a metric M25X2 neck thread. Scuba Pro do's not make valves, however over the years they...

Goodness, caught between a rock and a hard place it seems. I must say I have lost a bit of the pulse of things lately, I am retiring in Feb 2011 after 30 odd years in this game, its been good to me but its time to let some young blood take over, at the moment I am a bit sad, but its time to...

Oh, interesting, I didnt know that, Thermo was a very old and very respected valve company, gosh I can remember buying Thermo valves back in the 80's, quite surprised they decided to sell, but I guess everything has a price.:D I had a little "google" at XS valves and I like the indicator on...
