I'm looking for a high quality scan or pdf file of a vintage US Divers K valve parts/repair manual schematic for the valve below. All I'm looking for is the page with the parts schematic, not the actual repair instructions or directions. If someone wants to trade let me know what you're looking...

Always used a rubber mallet. Get a regular one, not one of the new "no bounce" ones... Tom

Yard sales. garage sales, flea markets, etc. If you live near any water, you'll find older tanks in the weirdest places... Tom

Take it and run! You could check out eBay, that would go for a lot more...

I've been diving PST HP steels since 1992. I've never had a problem getting a 3500 psi fill. I have an 80, a 102, and a 120. I compliment them with a few older 72's that I've picked up over the years (on the cheap!). Go for it! Tom

A well informed Hydro station can re-stamp the "+" every time your tank is Hydro'd. It is an old wives tale that it can't be done again. Tom

...I did figure that he was getting the Octopus and Gauges with them! Tom

A Conshelf and a Pro are both excellent regs. They are definately keepers. Neither one has a safety issue. You could have them both rebuilt and they will give YEARS of service. I have an older Conshelf XII that is still used regularly. If you can get them for $100 each or less you are making a...

10 years ago the Conshelf was already their lower end unit. The Micra or the SEA2 (Cousteau) was the top of the line. Either way, $200-175 is more then fair. If the tanks pass hydro/vis, then you basically have 2 free regs that are more then good enough. You could turn around and sell them (let...

By the way Gang, I'm still looking for parts kits for these 2 regs. I would be most thankful for any help. Tom

The ScubaPro Frameless is my favorite mask (ok, other then the AGA...). Give one a try. Very low volume, no reflections. Good luck!

...I've been rebuilding US Divers/Aqua-Lung, Poseidon, Sherwood, Dacor, Mares(AMF!) and ScubaPro regulators since 1986. Thanks for making the assumption that I wasn't one of your royal "we".

I have my repair certificate on file at Mar-Vel, so they'll sell me parts. It's just tough getting the correct 6 digit part numbers for the full parts kit. I would rather buy the kits complete then piecing together individual parts... I'll keep looking. Tom

Try a strong bonk on their nose. "Nice doggie. Good boy. Stay!" ;) Tom

I'm looking for a source for a parts/service kit for an older Sherwood 2000 regulator (kind of like a really old Brut). I am also looking for a source for US Divers/Aqualung parts/service kits for some older Conshelf 14 regulators. I would much rather buy the complete kit then try to get each...

One of the best things I've found to clean regs is Lysol Toilet Bowl cleaner. Comes in a white plastic bottle and is a blue liquid. Works great on corrosion. I'm not kidding. Second choice would be Vinegar, diluted with some water. Third, and only in extreme cases, is Muriatic Acid diluted with...

I haven't had anyone up here in the Northeast refuse a fill. However, my VIP stickers all come from a reputable shop and they include the "Visual Eddy" trademark. As long as your shop is knowledgable in proper VIP techniques, you're all set. I've seen many "cracked" 80's, the cracks are easily...

I am not a dive shop owner, and never have been. I have had the oppurtunity to work in 2 different diveshops within the last 10 years, and I currently work for a large volume computer retail company. The restrictions that are put on the dealers are not "absolute". The clauses you refer to...

I went for the Leisurepro deal on the Dive Rite product UP. They may very well not send me what the description reads, but I printed out the web page and have no issue discussing this with them STRONGLY if they do not come through. Besides, I know the lingo, I work for a large retail company and...
