Closed Conshelf XIV Second Stage

Next time send them my way!

I reckon that I've chucked away at least a dozen XIV sets in the past two years. No one wanted them especially the original owners who dropped them off as charitable contributions. One man's poison...

and they fetch reasonable prices on the *bay ..

No XIV's.... and I'm not aware of an IV... I do have two VI's. There was a Calypso IV... It's a later model 1085, sticker just says "Calypso IV" instead of "Conshelf __"

found it In their history but have never seen one for sale, not sure if it ever really existed.

U.S. Divers introduces the Conshelf IV regulator based on the balanced first stage design of the 2-hose Royal Master. This model is the foundation for all Aqua Lung regulators moving forward.

if you just want shiny chrome, the SP BA 156 is a balanced design

upgrading the SP 109 is also an option

there is also the 1088 conshelf 14 which has some improvements over the vintage XIV

You doubt my nerdy-ness?lol
I had to double check.... the timeline on Aqualung's site is a typo. Per the actual 1965 catalog (pulled off VDH) it is a Conshelf VI. Attached is the catalog page, and a picture of my pony reg. (my other VI is a tire inflation reg right now).

Respectfully,

In the condition I get them, hardly worth the effort to put them on Fleabay. When you’re done with Paypal and Fleabay fees and customer sh1tty expectations, that route is more of a PITA than anything else.

I have some new stock 14 face plates I'd consider selling, new plate securing rings too. I'll warn you though they were not cheap for me to buy and will be equally expensive if I sell. So no one thinks I'm gouging I can provide evidence of cost price. You'll need to sit down before you look though. If memory serves I've 6 I think. Cheers.

 

[buddhasummer]

Nope, just checked, I've 4. They have been well protected in bubble wrap and have zero marks. Well, they are new so you'd hope so guess

 

[buddhasummer]

If you can, get the 14 with the side tuning port and @herman tool, tuning that version with Herman's tool is soooo easy.

I'd forgotten how many 14 second stage parts I had, all latest production new stock OEM, if anyone's looking for parts feel free to message me I might be able to oblige. Cheers.
