    Squeaky ear when equalizing ( new diver )

    I've used a few decongestants and for me Sudafed wins. However, not diving with any congestion is better. You can be unaware of a sinus blockage, for example. Whatever you choose to do, make damn sure that the stuff does not wear off while you're in the water. You do NOT want a reverse...

    My back surgery...

    ROTFLMAO! Nope, haven't peed in a dry suit yet. Have a condom catheter setup but despite dives with durations over 3 hours and good hydration, haven't ever had to install it. In my wet suits, on the other hand...

    Squeaky ear when equalizing ( new diver )

    ^^^^ This. Pete beat me to it. The squeaks can very well mean you're right on the edge of barotrauma. Equalize early and often.

    How to set up my new regulator as an octo?

    Check the IP of both regs before moving the 2nd stage. If the IPs are not equal on both 1st stages, as they ought to be, the one you move might require adjustment. Small differences (2-3 PSI) probably won't matter since the 2nds are adjustable. (BTW, some IP creep is often seen even if the...

    IMO you're offering a nice deal for a full-function trimix computer. You can't even get a mix fill for what you're asking! Hope it finds a good home and serves its owner as well as mine served me.

    Dive Light

    I love my UWLD primary, FWIW. My LM is also OK, but not nearly as bright as the UWLD. The DR light kept getting wounded cords on wrecks and getting flooded. I gave up having it fixed, put a different gland on it with a tougher cord, and use it now off a different battery. From a support...

    Easiest & Cheapest way to remove paint / stickers / gunk from old aluminum tanks.

    I'd go with chemicals. Paint stripper, followed by a rinse and a soak in a strong lye solution seems like it should take off just about anything.

    Question Backplate risk of cutting wing

    Doesn't change your buoyancy during the dive, so what's the problem? ;-)

    Question Backplate risk of cutting wing

    Or do it in 10% of that time on a belt sander. Just sayin'. But generally, I have never, ever seen this happen. You can add that tot he long list of stuff I've never seen happen, but still...

    It's in the manual. You use the buttons. Tedious, but not difficult. Sounds like you solved the much harder problem--getting them!

    Oscilloscopes...

    I used to autocross and track PL510s (not to be confused with the later solid rear axle 510s). In addition to the 44PHH's, I had an SSS head, SSS cam, stiffer valve springs (redline rose to about 8K RPM), 240Z pistons, headers with a 2 1/4" exhaust into a Corvair Spyder muffler (it was...

    What the heck is an oscilloscope? Oh. Yeah. Not an automotive tool., but a device for displaying voltage over time. I'll admit I don't know whether AI transmitters are RF or ultrasonic. Either way you'd need so rig some sort of receiver to see the waveform, but if they transmit...

    Well, yes, all the SPL311s were ragtops. The carbs are SU clones, except their needles don't need to be painstakingly centered like the ones on the English SUs. Made by Hitachi. You're thinking of the U20 engine, not the 1600. The 1600 is pretty peppy, for its time. I thought about an L20...

    I, um, own an SPL311, a 1966 1600 Roadster. It's in the shed, awaiting restoration.

    My grandfather was once a Nash (mutated into AMC) dealer and then a Datsun dealer, and I grew up around the dealership, especially the shop. (Should have paid attention to the front office but....) I still own two Nash blankets! Don't get me started on the Chrysler. It was a family gift I...
