We could be lost twins! I also, BTW, have a Calypso J that I bought at the local hardware store in 1966. It still functions just fine. You may be able to get some parts from vintagescubasupply.com. Unlike USD and Voit double hose regulators, most single hose stuff is not in much demand. MR12s and early Conshelfs have some parts availability I understand. I have canalbilized several single hose units to keep them going. That label long ago peeled off of mine. I have never seen any more. The main performance problem with the Calypso J and typical of single hose regulators prior to about 1970ish was the tiny litle exhaust valves. If your interested in vintage, especially double hose stuff and vintage diving and vintage techniques then your main info sources, parts and forums are located at --- www.vintagescubasupply.com and www.vintagedoublehose.com . Those two sites have the main vintage diver forums and communications on restoring and collecting and trips etc. They are friendly forums so please join us there. N
