Seeking a J-Valve Reserve Rod

[ScoobieDooo]

Seeking a nice J-Valve Reserve Rod for my rig.

Also seeking a nice US Divers J-Valves as well.

Willing to pay top-dollar for both. Must be in very nice condition. Valve must be fuctional and not require rebuilding.

E-mail me what you may have, pics, and asking price.

$100

or you can make your own pull rod out of 3/16" SS rod for <$5

I tried and it came out crappy-looking...a 'metalsmith' I'm not!

Sure, it worked - but 'style' is as important as 'functionality.'

'Nuff said!

That's one way, the other is to simply reach back the way most did at the time - no rod.

Not gonna work with a bad left shoulder such as mine...

Gee, Walter, I thought I always dove with a rod connected... but then that was the 60's and since I was really there, I may not remember anything correctly. However I do remember a dive or two when the J-valve rod had already been pulled (by kelp?) on a dive and the reserve wasn't there when I needed it.

I am seeking 'stock' rods - unless the clones are so good they can pass for original!

I have found someone whom is willing to make them in qty but I need one sooner than these will be fabricated in qty.
