To anyone out there that may help... I am having a terrible time trying to get my hands on some DIN adapters for some scubapro MK V's I know that these existed, they are in the old catalog, but I can't find one anywhere. For a while there was a guy selling them on ebay, but when I got one and tried to assemble it, it did not fit (it wouldn't thread in deep enough)... I looked at the part I got and compared it to the one in the catalog and it was definitely the wrong part....At any rate, I am looking for some of these, about six, any ideas?????

Good luck
I have one original Scubapro, Mk-5 DIN adapter, but I will not let go of it. I also have an after market, but it may be just like the one you had trouble with.
Last night I happen to find a carbon copy of letter I wrote to Scubapro looking for such a fitting in 1977, but at the time I dont believe that even considered making anything for a DIN connection. Back then it was not even known as a DIN fitting, it was a 5/8 European threaded connection.
Their response was very generic as in contact your local dealer I dont think they even read the letter since I worked for the LDS at the time (and I wrote it in the LDS letter head paper). I will post a copy of the letters later with other related info.
Sorry I cant help you.

I actually almost did that back in 1977 before there were any DIN fitting regulators in the US. Actually back then it wasnt even called a DIN fitting in Europe. Later I will post a catalog page from the 70s.
This is an incredible coincidence that two days ago I found the carbon copy of a letter I wrote on the subject to Scubapro 31 years ago. I will start a thread on the subject later. It blows my mind that I ran into that.
On the other hand, for the most part, I dont use DIN fittings anymore. Personally I think for must applications they are more hassle than they are worth. In the long run the yoke is more durable since you are not threading different parts together all the time.
Neither fitting is really superior to the other in all applications they both have their advantage and disadvantage. My experience is that they are both secure if used properly. After 35 years, I prefer the convenience of the yoke.
Yes, but now you can put aside your slide rule
