He even has some NOS high pressure seats. If you don't want to service it yourself, you should contact him. Bryan will probably do it.

I had a couple of these a couple of years ago. I located some old posts that discussed a recall that this regulator had in the 70s. I don't recall much about it, but I believe that there was an issue with the HP seat working itself loose. I recall having contacted Aqualung about it and them not having any information. As I recall, the issue was supposed to have been resolved by the time the Calypso VI was released.
Here is a thread that discusses it http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/regulators/77474-aqua-lung-calypso-vi.html. I also recall another thread that showed the piece that was used to service the recall, but I cannot find it. There is some confusion in this thread over whether the recall was first stage or second stage. Edit: I've looked at the 1974 US divers catalog and the 1083 pn denotes the Calypso J and 1984 is the Calypso IV. But that's with the first and second stage together. I do specifically recall the VDH thread referenced below discussed the recall being for the first stage.
Ok, I found a thread that I had started: http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/vintage-equipment-diving/340444-us-divers-calypso-vi-questions.html. I linked a VDH thread that had pictures of bushing that was used in the recall, but that link appears to be dead. I don't describe the bushing very well, but my 4 year old recollection is that it worked to keep the seat from coming all the way out.
FWIW, Hooper dives a Calypso in Jaws.
