So I've had this Viking knocking around for a year or two....actually it is my best "buy it now" eBay deal.
Amazingly the internal diaphragms are still intact....stiff but no holes....if I suck on the inlet it does flow air.
The hoses are shot as are the H-P mouthpiece mushrooms.
There's a slight ff when pressurized.
It would be fun to get this Norseman back underwater.
Does anyone know if there's any interchangeability with seats from USD?.....to be honest I don't even know if it is a single or two stage reg.
I know that the hoses and mushrooms are an easy fix...but if I end up splitting or crumbling the main diaphragm I don't think I'll ever find a replacement.
I know this reg has some unique features such as the ability to attach an alternate hose and a ring pull reserve but how does it breath compared to a Mistral or DAM?
Any advice welcome.
