US Divers Conshelf 21 service?

[buddhasummer]

Will do in the next day or so...

I'd dive them. IP locks up, if the second stages hold a vacuum and breathe well, and nothing leaks, I'd dive them today no problem

Is this for the conshelf, or for any reg set? I ask because I have 2 first stages I bought off this board. The seller told me they were Cochran's (did not know they made a first stage) and he told me before I bought them I may not be able to get parts for it. The shop tested 1 of them and the ip locks up on it, so it seems to be fine also. He also sent some parts for it and a mk10 also. Debating if I should bother with the Cochran or just use the mk10 instead.

I would use the MK10 for sure. Cochran never made 1st & 2nd stages, they were made by Beuchat. We have no parts and have never done annual service repair on any of the Beuchat regulator line. Cochran makes the EMC-20H and EMC-16 dive computers. All sales are direct through our headquarters in Richardson, TX.

Any idea if Beuchat can rebuild them?

that's for any regulator set really, though in that case I'd use the Mk10, and make the Cochran a paper weight. Beuchat parts were never easy to come by in the US, and certainly aren't any easier now

Again I work for Cochran but maybe try AirTech Scuba Services at 866.287.0850 www.airtechscubaservices.com
I would definitely use the MK10 (have it serviced by a authorize Scubapro dealer) and use the Beuchat 1st stage as a "paperweight".

I am interested if they work. Looking for all the info i can get as i am going to start servicing them myself. I have a couple of mk10s laying around that i will use as practice.

They do indeed fit.

Air Tech is a brilliant Scubapro service shop, but they do not service Beuchat

I might be buying a con-shelf 21 octopus that (they say) has never been in water for $125.
If they've never been in the water, is there still worry of dry rot etc?
Thanks!

No way I would pay that much for an octo. You can buy a completely rebuilt conshelf 21 first and 2nd for $65 from vintagesoublehose.com
