Need help identifying BCD/BCS

[Your Local Diver]

I purchased this off a guy who claimed it was a Ranger. He had two and one had the "ranger" badge on it, this one did not. Long story short the one with the "ranger" label sold before I got there so I Purchased this one.


I have no idea what it is. It only says ZEAGLE on the right strap with an american flag below it. The patent number is 5020941 on it and the warning label does say zeagle so it's not a fake (i hope)

The front has three connections. One at the very top of chest, one mid section and one that goes around the waist. it isnt a cummerbund... just a strap with adjust ability one both sides.

There is only one deflate cord which is on the left side bottom of the bladder. it faces towards you and not away.

The reason I want to know the model is because I am selling the BCS. It's too big for me since i've lost some weight. =P

I've attached pics.

That's a very old Tech. It has the straight shoulder straps and the big lift bladder.
How does the material around the air dump on the shoulder look? Often they old ones needed to be reinforced or the pull dump feature pulls the bladder out of the cover.

Gene, I don't think this one has the shoulder dump. All I see is an elbow.

Capt. Gene... how old is old? I purchased this 2 years ago used. I wish i would have gotten the ranger he had instead! The thing looks like it's hardly been used. I used it maybe 5 times max.

MRadke is correct... There is no shoulder dump. just the one at the bottom which i can barely reach sometimes.

how much do you think it's worth?

 

[Capt.Gene]

You are correct, it doesn't have a shoulder dump.
Scott might have a better guess on the age but I will go with 1990.
I think that might be a 65# lift bladder.

Gene is probably right....it is somewhere around the 1990 mark, give or take a year or two.

Thanks,

Scott
