One of my old dive buddies gave me his first regulator, a Nemrod Snark II Deluxe from the early 60's. Hooked it to a tank and it breathes much easier than any other vintage tilt valve I have tried. I noticed that it seems to share a lot in common with a newer Healthways Scuba Star TDQK. The metal exhaust T appears identical as does the purge button. The first stages also appear to be identical except the end cap on them is shaped differently, the Healthways does not have or need a relief valve because it has down stream lever second stage. The yoke screws looked identical except for the name on them. Second stage housings are different. Just wondering if Nemrod at one time made Healthways regulators and if there is a replacement diaphram available for the down stream Scuba Star?
