    Scubapro 109, frozen balance knob

    Alright. Got the 109 apart! The guy who had this rig must have failed to rinse it completely. Using the vinegar solution recommended by VDH, I cleaned both 2nd's, removing a good deal of corrosion. Only one surprise; someone converted the 109 to a 156. So, I have ordered the correct kit. I've...

    Do any of you have tees to fit an old 108 that you'd be willing to part with? Or, do you know where I can get a universal one for it?

    BC confusion, and possible reaction to old gear?

    I will do some research re the 109>156 conversion. Can you give me the short version, and exactly how it improves on the 109's performance?

    BC confusion, and possible reaction to old gear?

    Okay, I guess you guys know of other places to look for used gear. I've dug around for an hour, and this is what I came up with; back inflation bc, $150-250 used. Backplate, harness, and wing, $450 new. I can't find the pieces used, rigs seem to be sold complete, usually $500 and up. Unless I...

    BC confusion, and possible reaction to old gear?

    I'll attempt to introduce myself. [ahem] My Dad was certified in the 70's, and growing up, he taught me to snorkle, and by extension, got me interested in SCUBA. The expense, and my own nervousness, kept me from pursuing that interest until now. I'm in my 20's, and have finally taken the...
