Okay, I did a search here looking for "Vintage Double Hose" and only came up with three hits, none pertaining to what I want to know.
In some of the shops here in Manila, I noticed displays of vintage regs - specifically double hose regs. Now, a few months ago, my brother in law spotted one in a junk shop in Davao, but was unable to snag it. Not for anything else, but I want to have one of my own, and possibly try diving it.
I've currently got three "vintage" regs - all single hose regs: A USD Conshelf 30/prodiver reg (for the mid 80s); A sportsways W-600 Hydronaut from the late 70s, and a USD Calypso J reg from the 60s. Currently in the process of restoring the other two.
So, my questions are:
1. Is there much of a vintage diving scene here in Manila?
2. Is there anyone who knows where I can get my hands on one?
Thanks!
