I'll let @herman correct me here, I'm as imperfect as ever. The press came from Midway and was used for re-sizing cartridge brass. He made the delrin/nylon arbor for it, and a spare one. (have not needed it yet) and the steel busing ring that sets on the 1st stage. Saying it's been used over a...

Herman @herman made this for me several years ago.....Seems like an eternity now! Made to streamline production time of assembly. I will put the link to the inexpensive tool in the website store so folks can find it. Thank you

After diving your new wing for a while and decide you want to try a longer or shorter inflator hose they are available in the website store along with spare parts if you just gotta have them around.

I put a new C clip in the G250 service kits. I always love reading threads where Robert is playing deep sea parts detective. He is without a doubt the master of it.

Getting wings from LA to the Ontario area has been challenging to say the least. Shipping cost was showing around $117.00. So it was cheaper to send from LA to FLA and then FLA to Canada. I'm eating the extra cost and getting them out as soon as they arrive.

#23 and #35's will be available in the website store on Saturday. #18 eta is end of May. Thank you for your patience!

Bryan@vintagedoublehose.com or vintagedoublehose@gmail.com are the best ways to get in touch with me regarding an order. If you can include your order number when you email me it will help me figure out what's going on much more quickly. Thank you

If I had a 100% concrete answer I'd post it. Mfg in CA is still struggling with raw materials and secondary assembly parts such as inflators. I'm not going to guess at a date and all I can hope for now is sooner than later. I realize it's not the answer you wanted but it's as honest an answer as...

04/03/2021..... Wing manufacturer in California is trying to get their business back to a more normal mode of operation despite the challenges they must work around. I had a few wings left in inventory and I have them in the website store ready to ship directly from the Mfg. My hope is to have...

I have always tried to go above and beyond for VDH customers. If there is a problem I do my best to solve it. Inevitably some customers are not going to be happy no matter what you do.....That's just how it goes in business and life in my opinion. I'm not saying this is the case here as I...

When we finally get some sense of normal again, factories start production again, working capitol becomes available again I'll be glad to re-stock every item I'm out of. When that time will come your guess is as good as mine. Living in a state of limbo is a very difficult situation for small...

Breaktime at work. got some more great catalogs to share. Nemrod, Sportsways, Healthways, DACOR, White Stag, Farallon, Aqua Craft, AMF. Always happy to upload any you can share to the files for everyone to enjoy. Thank you

Had a little decompress time here at work so I thought I'd upload some recent catalogs shared with me. Scubapro 68, 79, 71 Europa and 75 SEATEC

Due to my primary job responsibilities that will require me to be at work for who knows how many hours and days in a row I'm temporarily shutting down the website store and all other VDH services. Nothing wrong here with me, it's simply a lack of hours in a day to get everything done and squeeze...

Not meant as arbatrary or irrelevant numbers that I threw on paper. The #18 and #23 are close in size. The #18 is the smallest and most streamlined. The #23 only slightly more so. The #35 is obviously larger but still very compact compared to any other wing on the market.

It's difficult to measure exactly inflated or deflated when there is an internal cord trying to keep the wing as small as possible. Next time I have the opportunity I'll check again and make corrections. If my minor miscalculation will cause you distress in your diving profile I apologise...

Added 1974 and 1975 to the list in the Manuals and Catalogs section. Still a lot of holes in the timeline so if you have any years that are missing I'd sure appreciate you sending them my way in PDF form so we can fill it all in. Bryan@vintagedoublehose.com

So I can add something to what I have De-railed. Don't live and die by an IP gauge. Establish a norm and check periodically. a few PSI one way or the other is not a big deal. Creep after lockup is a much bigger deal than an initial solid lockup in my opinion. If it's a diaphragm 1st stage...

Please keep treating them like rental gear with no love, care or cleaning. When they fail, take them apart and give your opinion and send me the pieces and we can discuss.
