I have had several people ask about hookah port adapters to test the IP of US Divers DAAM and RAM regulators. If there is enough interest I will make a batch. The adapter will fit on the hookah port and allow you to connect a standard 3/8-24 inflator hose to it for use with your IP gauge. The...

A number of us get together each year to visit, swap lies and enjoy diving with others who like to dive double hose regs. This year we are meeting in Florida on Saturday May 16th at Blue Springs Park and then Sunday the 17th at Alexander Park. If you have any interest in the old....or new double...

Could any of you rebreather divers direct me to some online information on the cleaning and care of rebreather hoses and counterlungs. The reason I am interested in the subject is rebreathers and double hose regulators share the same basic style hoses and both need cleaning. Since I dive a lot...

Many of you know I dive a double hose regulator frequently and during some conversations about diving them, the observation was made that most divers have never seen anyone diving one, let alone dove one. I am sure a lot of the guys from the vintage forum see them, I do all the time but I am...

I though some of you might like to see some of the projects I do, this is my most recent one. The Dacor Olympic 400 and 800 series of regulators were sold for a good number of years but in the modern era do not have any following for a multitude of reasons. They are fairly large, heavy and...

I have on of the Intova video cameras coming but I have no idea what software to use to edit the video and to add simple effects like titles, comments and backgound music. I don't need or want a high end program, just something reasonably simple to do the limited processing I want to do. What...

Latey I have had an annoying windows pop up start showing up on my computers x3, 2 personal and 1 work. I have not changed anything recently on my computers and it only happens on SB. It happens when I back out of a thread to the search list. It does not happen on every thread but most of them...

Does anyone know of a source for second stage LP orifices? I can find the seats (Trident) but can't find the orifices. I don't care what brand/make/model they are although I would prefer metal ones. Seems like I saw some on a web site at one time but can't recall where it was.

NC Divers is hosting a vintage day at Gypsy Divers in Raleigh,NC on Feb 13. We will be spending about an hour in the classroom discussing double hose regs then spend an hour or 2 in the pool. We will cover the basics of how they operate, what they look like inside and the differences in diving a...

Does anyone have a clue who made this regulator or what it's model is? It has no marking at all on it. I got it in a package deal and have never seen one like it. I am guessing it is late 60’s to mid 70s in age. There are design details that are very close to a SP MK-5. In fact, the pin spanner...

I am not looking for the manf specs but rather an informed discussion form some of the DIY reg techs on the board. The reason I am asking is I am experimenting with DIY HP seats for several regs, the MK-5 and MK-2 plus the many similar regs that have been sold over the years. I know I can get...

I recently got a Phoenix Orca computer in with some other gear and decided to see if it works. Dropped in a battery and it appears to be working. I would like to get copy of the manual if anyone has one or at least chat a little about it's operation.

I have seen this manual set all over Ebay and was wondering if anyone has actually seen/used one of them. There is a lot of bold and colored text in the add.....a little too much hype I think. If it lives up to the hype it may be good but I would like to hear from someone who actually has one...

I recently acquired a US Divers horse collar BC which has a LP inflator. Unfortunately it did not come with an inflator hose. Does anyone have one they would like to part with or know anything about the hose itself, possible home brew hose parts maybe?? Here are some photos :

I have recently aquired an old Dacor Olympic 400 second stage. It is in real good condition but the cracking pressure is set way to high. I would like to dissemble, check and adjust it but I can't seem to find how to dissemble it. There are no obvious places it comes apart. The diaphragm is no...

I am trying to find out the port size of the PT-009 housing. I can find info on most of the other Oly housing but the 009 seems to be hard to find. The Oly web site is of no use unless I missed something. I need to know the diameter of the port threads. 67mm?? Thanks

Anyone have a PT-15, 20 or similar Oly housing that is no longer servicable and would interested in selling it? I need one to experiment on. Most any condition is OK as long as it's in reasonable condition, not crushed or badly cracked. Leaking or broken controls are fine.

Recently a friend of mine won a "free" trip to the Gran Pacifica in Nicaragua. http://www.granpacifica.com/index.html The trip was a prize in a local dive shop outting but it feels kind of fishy to us. So far, other than the web site, we can find nothing about the place. The "free trip" has...

Sorry about the self promotion but it's been a long time in the works. I finished my PADI DM last night. :monkeydan and I am in the mood to celebrate. :multi:
