To cut a long (and embarrasing) story short, a full kitted up scuba unit fell from a bench on the boat and the threads on the yoke (and perhaps some on the 1st stage itself but hopefully not) got stripped. Yoke was tightened back onto the 1st stage body. No leaks. Seemed fine on the next dive (very shallow of less than 10 feet) other than a very slight leak which was assumed to require more tightening but upon a tank change, the whole yoke flew out upon pressurization.
So now the question is, other than a Sherwood yoke, are there yokes from other manufacturers which are of the same thread and will fit? I'm asking this because I see some old yokes lying around in some shops and it'll help if I could ask for specific ones. The only other brand I have are HOG ones and the HOGs are way too big.
