Y'all realize that San Diego has some bodacious divng don't you?
I understand that all of the molds and tooling and most of the spare parts were thrown into a dumpster. The company I think got tired of being sued or something like that, that is not clear really other than there is no support for these fine regulators--which---part of their demise--were an aquired taste.
Yeah, the metal T2100 was the best of the breed, the T2100BX was not so good. My metal T2100s are super smooth once below 20ish feet and deliever air at rates unequaled by the modern plastic fantastics. I always like the way they almost pumped the air into me below 60 feet or so. But, as we have said, without parts support these regulators have about reached the end of the road.
I have experimented with making my own pilot diaphram and also dissoloving the goo from the tilt valve seal and replacing it with various materials.Threse are thre two parts that go bad. There are so few of these arounf it is simply not worth my effort to build the tooling to make the stuff or have it made. I mean, you, me and two other guys in the entire world are the only people who stull dive them, oh, a fellow in Puerto Rico and a guy in Italy as well,that is about it, not a big market.
For the pilot diaphram I have used thick neoprene rubber, about .125,and drilled a hole in the center, then drove a solid AN426 rivet into it double flushed and then shaving it down and drilling with a wire sized drill bit, for example.
