Any help would be appreciated here. Neighbor cleans out storage units and this made its way into my garage...

Mk7 (honker), and a pair of 109 seconds. Can't remember what the horse collar was called....

The master (Couv - RIP) could have stepped you through the mk7. The 109 seconds look nice.

I'd play with all of it (maybe not the mk7)...

Send it my way for safe disposal ..
 
Oh no. I can't get past the "S" being installed inside out. Is there a CO2 in the horse collar? They're always fun to pull.

Nice find. I like that model of pressure gauge with the black face too.
 
Horse collar is trash unless someone wants it. Are the 109s worth rebuilding?

Of course my opinion, horse collar is trash even if someone wants it :wink:

109’s are easy and worth it to update to BA, the most usable part of the mk7 is the piston which can be used in the MK 5 if memory serves.
 
Based on my limited knowledge of these and minimal desire to do anything with them, anyone got an offer that I might entertain?
 
I had a vest like this purchased in 1972. The low-pressure inflator was a big advance, predecessor of the BC. The 109s are nice.
 
Nice! If you can rebuild a Mk 5 (or Mk 10), you can rebuild a Mk 7. Really straightforward.

Looks like yours is one of the older ones. The yoke on the newer ones is much hardier, intended for use on 3,000 (or 3,300) psig cylinders--although I've used the older one on Al 80's, no problem.

I would take those 109s for you. I'm local too. I would likely rebuild them, update them too balanced components. If successful i will give one back to you to use in style.
