The AGA Divator MK1 is still a very dive able system with excellent breathing characteristics.
However, spares are getting difficult to find let alone obtain.

Those are good looking tanks. Are they composite tanks?

No, original AGA before the restructure of the company in the 80s
Swedish made and imported.

Very nice!
Looks even more sleek than the AGA 324, small doubles are awesome!!
You can try contacting Interspiro about spares, but might be hard to find any for a set that old.
Tank bands look the same as the 324's though, so I'm guessing the spacing between the top of the cylinders are the same and there's a chance you could butcher a 324 and transfer the parts needed to your Mk1's.
One thing of notice though is that the valve and threads on the older 324's were made of brass, some shops refuse to fill tanks that have the brass valve, there were a replacement valve in another material available though and some have had them changed.
 
My experience with the AGA twins was that it was definitely on the negative side of bouyancy.
 
Quick question, what's your favorite set of doubles as far as trim bouynacy characteristics etc. Yes I know there's alot to the question. I'm simply asking what's your favorite set. This should be interesting.

I have my best balance with twin 12l steel tanks. For stages I like either 1 alu-80 or 2x alu 7 liter tanks. I was previously using an alu-104 for a stage bottle but I found it heavy and awkward
