Sources for parts
I have O-rings covered, those are easy. I have even found some HP seats at northeastscubasupply.com (not phenomenal prices, but not horrible either). I'm still looking for exhaust valves and diaphragms for second stages. Anyone have good sources for any of those kind of parts? Specifically, these are for a Dacor 900 and an AMF/VOIT MR12 II. I also seem to have broken the lever on my Dacor second stage so I'm looking for that as well.
I've emailed every local shop to see if they'll sell me parts and of course none of them will, despite the fact that they won't service these regs. "Liability"...
So, I'm back with more questions where you guys find these parts. Ebay hasn't turned up much yet, though there are some aqualung kits that might work. I need to check parts lists to verify what is in each kit.

Trident has regulator parts avalible in their catalog. you just have to find a dive shop that will order them for you. My local shop won't sell me Aqualung parts for an old us divers reg I have but sells me the Trident parts for the same reg, go figure??? I have several old regs full of Trident parts and never had a problem. TRIDENT-DIVING-ACCESSORIES

I've never seen any published price list from Trident. Their pricing is generally comparable to the OEM parts, but at leats they're orderable. Just guessing: diaphragm: $7, exhaust: $3. You also need to measure the ones you have, because their don't have a compatibility chart.
OTOH, diaphragms and exhaust valves last a long time, 20+ years is not uncommon.

Well, I found a couple of regs on ebay that I bid on to find a replacement lever for the Dacor. Never hurts to have other spare parts, right? akdeepdiver, I'll email you once I have a complete list of parts I need and I'm sure the sizes are accurate. Thank you for the offer.
