I fully agree. I've thought about the octo issue ever since I first read about it in my training text and the more I thought about it the more convinced that it's not my redundency, but rather my buddy's. two seconds on one first isn't very redundant IMO.
when it comes to "period correctness" (never thought I'd use that phrase on Scubaboard!) Is a Banjo adaptor vintage? do people regularly mix and match equipment from different eras?
What equipment fits best with a DA Aquamaster? for that matter, in your opinion, what is the best configuration for a mid sixties set-up?
I see already I need an assortmant, Thanks GillDiver! that's all I need, another obsession!
I guess now I need Sea Hunt on dvd
Banjo fitting and the SPG were available during part of the double hose era, so technically they are vintage. Although I had a banjo and SPG I rarely used it with my double hose regulators and depended on the J valve.
A mid 60's set up would be a plastic back pack such as a U S divers Cam EZ. They show up on ebay regularly along with similar back packs from other manufactures.
Duckfeet type fins, any one of many oval masks with a stainless steel clamp band, weight belt with a wire bale buckle(still available from Trident) and possibly a surface flotation vest and steel 72 cu/ft tank and a large knife.
One good way would be to pick a year and find copys or the real catalogs from that year.
