For Sale Old equipment

[Bigbovine]

I have 3 items here if anyone is interested. Not really sure what they are worth if anything, not really worried about that. As long as I can at least be reimbursed for shipping, but a litttle money would be nice. More interested in this stuff finding a place where they can be used or appreciated in some way. Depth gauge needs new o ring on face glass, other than that I do not know if it operates properly. Pressure gauge works properly. Regulator breathed ( out of water) and didn’t leak air. I took face off 2nd stage and all looks great. First stage is in great shape.
This stuff came from my Uncle who hasn’t used this stuff probably since the 70’s. Just trying to find a good home for it.
I will only ship Continental U.S.

Also have a J valve equipped aluminum tank. Not sure what can be done there on shipping unless someone wants just the j valve.

These items are no longer available at the moment. A family member has requested the items and I felt obligated since they were given to me.

For what it's worth, that's an Aqua-Lung Aquarius regulator. I have one but don't dive it much. It's a really simple diaphragm design, not compensated, so there's some variation in IP from a full tank to an empty one. They work best with LP tanks for that reason. The second stage is common to most of the Aqua-Lung regulators of the era including the Conshelf. VintageDoubleHose.com has parts and service kits.

I'm pretty sure Aquarius is a piston regulator.

So that’s what a J valve looked like!

I'm pretty sure Aquarius is a piston regulator.

There's a schematic diagram on:

They also have the rebuild kits.

It's a good reg, I've enjoyed mine well below recreational depths and wouldn't hesitate to do so again.

Glad to hear it's staying in
the family. Do they intend to use it for display or might it get used?

That tank is likely to give you troubles... It is made from an alloy that is known to have a susceptibility to load cracking. There are special tests utilized when it is inspected, but adds to cost, and just might not be worth the hassle. Even with a successful test, shops may not fill it.

Also, those are terribly buoyant, making them not really desirable.

It is a nice conversation piece..... likely all it is good for.
