NOS heavy yoke RAM for sale. It has been drug around on a shelf by previous owner so there are some scratching on the front cover, other than that, it is a new regulator.

I stripped it down and performed the following:

1. New (vdh) silicone diaphragm
2. New NOS LP stem, seat, nut
3. New blue Titan HP seat
4. New (vdh) HP diaphragm
5. Set IP to 138 psi

Regulator has clear NOS USD cage valves, NOS USD silicone mushrooms, NOS USD seamed neoprene hoses in excellent condition, NOS USD neoprene curved mouthpiece, NOS USD original duckbill in good shape, NOS heavy yoke and knob, NOS USD band clamp (vdh bolt and nut).


I can possibly offer this unit with a new Phoenix conversion (3,400 psi), that will require an additional 250 dollars, allows use of HP and LP hoses, octopus second, BC etc.

The Royal Aqua Master round label with heavy yoke (3,000 psi) is somewhat rare, they were the last of the line and is a desirable unit both from it's quite, smooth performance as well as it's ability to gobble up 3,000 psi air with no worries.

PM me if you have any questions.

Disclaimer: Use of antique scuba gear will cause you to die immediately, much like a Medusa head, the mere sight of a Royal Aqua Master has been known to turn PadI divers to stone, use with extreme caution, intended for display use ONLY. If you use it for something other than display, like going to 200 feet on the wall at Grand Cayman like I just did, you are on your own buster.

That's beautiful. Definitely in the "if you have to ask you can't afford it" range for me :)

I have noticed that the older models with the metal T-handle yoke screws actually make PADI Instructors bleed from their eyes first. Very entertaining.
 
Sorry, I guess I never listed the price, hey, never said I was a salesman.

NOS, what does that mean, it means NEW OLD STOCK and the implication is never used and I believe that description fits this one, the wear on the label/front can is shelf rash.

I want $550 for it as is and as is will be ready to dive even though, lol, this is being sold for display purposes only.

This regulator breaths very sweet, where do I get the 550 dollars price from, well, that is what I paid for a similar heavy yoke specimen a few years ago. This one is actually better but I simply cannot justify keeping it.

Hey, I got a broken leg and cannot dive for at least 6 months, someone buy this thing from me, lol.

As well, I do have a spare Phoenix nozzle assembly, Gen I, I can set it up for that as well but that will cost the price additionally I have in the completed nozzle assembly. For the nozzle I would have to have the waiver signed but we can work all that out, frankly, it would be a shame to put a Phoenix on this heavy yoke beauty.

Broken, but not broke!
 
James, I hope you can sell it if that's what you want, but I have a feeling you might regret it. It's pretty rare. Personally I would not put a phoenix nozzle on this one, for the reason you mentioned.

Anyone that's interested in a doublehose, this is a great one at a very reasonable price. I can't help but wonder what one of the dealers would sell something like this for.
 
It's not everyday that a NOS specimen such as this becomes available. This is a real opportunity. This thing has been lost in a time warp for something close to 35 years if I recall correctly.

Good luck with the sale.
