I was just gifted these by a neighbor and could use some help tracking down information on rebuild compatibility. From the boards it looks like it might be possible to rebuild using Conshelf parts? No serial numbers on either reg.

US Divers Octo
US Divers Pro Diver
Us Divers First Stage #S2A0658

Both bottles are valved by Sherwood 5000's one pre-88 one made in '95. Neither have been hydro'd in the last decade.

Any help would be awesome!

It is a Conshelf and uses the standard Conshelf/Titan service kit.
 
1st stage service kit 90001
The 2nd stages most likely don't need anything done to them apart from some silicone on the hose o ring and orifice block threads.
If they've been poorly serviced in the past they might need a tweak and seat flip.
 
I forget which Conshelf that is...30 maybe...it was also sold as the Aqualung Royal. In any case, the Conshelf kit will work nicely. If I remember correctly, that reg uses 1/2 LP ports. The hoses for those ports can be a little harder to find. If I were servicing it, I would go ahead and replace the LP seats just so you know how old they are....odds are they will work...actually odds are the first stage will work too but get it serviced if you intend to use it.

As to the tank, while both could be put back in service, I do not know how much of an issue pre 90 tanks are in your part of the country. For the most part it's not worth the hassle most places so I would junk the 88 and keep the 95...and by junk I mean recycle..it's worth a few bucks in scrap metal.
 
If you end up needing 1/2 hoses piranha dive manufacturing had them last time I checked
I have been buying hoses from Randy for the last 4 years without issues
 
Awesome help guys. Forgive the ignorance. I just spent an hour reading ALL the threads on these guys. Upon closer inspection it seems I might have the dreaded cracks in the octo. What do you think?

You've probably read this from me already......those little cracks have probably been there foe 20 years and aren't getting worse, I wouldn't worry.
