Here is my cart at VDH. Should I purchase a new mouthpiece and hoses or clean mine up and give it a go? Also, for the life of me I can’t find the single stage diaphragm on the VDH site? Can anyone think of anything else I should purchase to complete this regulator?View attachment 605510
Inspect your hoses and mouthpiece carefully for any cracks, and feel the hoses for stiffness. Stretch the hoses a little and see if anything breaks or cracks. If they pass the test, clean with soapy water and a baby bottle brush.
Get a banjo from scubamuseum before it's sold out.
Keep an eye out for a hookah adapter, in the meantime, you could dive and manually inflate your BCD and use a pony for an alternate reg.
If your second stage diaphragm looks OK you can use it. I haven't seen any new silicone ones recently (let me know if you see any). To use the HPR with the old diaphragm, you need to flatten the tabs or just make sure you align it so the tabs don't get caught on the lever feet.
After all that, your ready to dive!
