"finally my Aqualung XIV has died"

Call me doubting Thomas, all but impossible to kill, how did it die?

Cheers

well if Aqualung kits are not available then I cannot repair... that is what killed my dacor and parkway in the 90's I could not get kits to repair which is also a concern I was building with APE/k's if Aqualung is their parent ... will they end up unsupplied as well... the aqualung I had since 1988 was a gift when I got from my dad couple years after I got legal to scubadive and was no longer stealing his gear to go off to the keys when he was out of town ..

mind you if I could get kits for it I would rebuild those powerhouses... they are my terminators with the cressi oil filled SPG and depth gauge

There are no standard service parts for your XIV that are not available.

Or...

All standard service items for an XIV are available.

Make me a happy person if I can keep my old beater started using it few years after I got certified was in better condition but it has followed me around the world diving.

First stage ok, "...and both my regulators" ?

You should be able to find the XIV first stage kits online without too much difficulty, an early Titan kit will also work.

I can get the kits no problem, up until Jan this year I lived in Japan. Shipping is a factor though of course, im now in Oz.
