Scubapro MK6 Pneumatic 1st stage and R109 & R108 regulators. Bought used in 1978 and had the 1st stage converted to a MK5 sometime in the 1980's due to recall issues. I've had this stuff for going on 33 years and like I said, I bought it used and it is still going strong. Getting ready to have it serviced and will start using it again once the weather warms up a little.
 
Where's the Mk6 bit?
 
The pneumatic part. Do you want to sell it?
 
I have a SP MKV circa 1972 still in working order, and a Poseidon Cyklon 300 1976 version, a nice
Mares MR12, and several current Apollo regs. Well maintained regs last a good while.
 
Sorry knowone I didn't understand your question. Unfortunately I no longer have the parts to convert it back to a mk6. Just had a LDS make an offer I couldn't refuse if I still had the parts... Oh well, had I only knew then what I know now! It is still very cool diving with retro gear and quit the conversation piece. This is the only set of regulators I have ever dove with so I kinda feel like a dinosaur. Thanks for the interest though.
 
Does a car still use a piston?
 
Dacor Pacer really old works like a top
 
I had a couple of Dacor Pacers; they were still working when I retired them, but they were as heavy as bricks. I had US Divers Micra regulators after that. The second stage could only be described as "petite," and very lightweight. I don't remember why I ditched them in favor of my Atomics--I was probably feeling flush and got the itch to buy some gear. They were just gleams in my eye when this poll was taken--they're still quite young.
