Hey Bryn,
I have the exact same set with the same gauges. I bought mine from Cyprus Scuba in 1990. I was a 19 year old artillery gunner and was on a Cyprus posting, I was looking for a decent set of gear and the owner of the shop sold them to me. I still have them and use them quite often. I...
Thanks Cap,
I'll send some video when she's running. Decided to go with a gas engine like yours. Thought about it and if I'm somewhere without electricity, it's a paperweight. I can always find gas, even siphon from the truck if needed. Plus, I got a great deal on an engine from Princess...
Many heartfelt thanks to Captain and Regulator BJ. Captain has spent time on the phone with me helping me rebuild and offer tips and tricks to getting my old but new to me Cyclone back in fine form. I've attached a few pics of how she was when I got her and how she looks now.

Hey Bryan,

Mr Regulator, BJ
You sir are an amazing wealth of knowledge. How you managed to find the catalogue and drawing are seriously blowing my mind. I've spent the better part of a month looking daily for some sort of lead on this compressor. Very happy to see that it is a Cyclone, I even received...
Hello All,
I'm writing in regards to an old Luchard Compressor. I just found an old Luchard (US Divers) compressor that was sitting down the road in a older gentleman's barn. He was a diver 40 years ago and owned this compressor. His grandson was cleaning out the barn after he passed last...
