I'm a relative newbie here but I didn't see a Vintage Classifieds section so I apologize if this is the wrong place to post this.


Looks like I've got a 1970's vintage ScubaPro SOS Depth Gauge that I'd like to help find a good home. It looks nearly identical to the one on this site (http : //www.vintagescubasupply.com/accsview.html) with the notes that say its helium filled with a 500 foot depth limit. Front says "SOS PATENT (S) MADE IN ITALY"

The condition is pretty good for 30+ years old, I certainly never thought it was that old when I got it. It still works great - I recently dove this down to about 60 feet and the readings were accurate compared to a modern computer, within a couple feet.

The rubber back shows very little wear, the chrome bezel shows some surface scratches and has one medium sized spot and a few small spots where the chrome has flaked off. The glass has just minor small scratches from normal wear and tear. It has serial #3775 hand etched onto the wrist strap holder. There is no wrist strap.

Let me know if anyone can give this a good home for a very reasonable price and I'll send detailed pics upon request. Thanks!

Does anyone know anything about this decompression computer? It was made by the same company but not for Scubapro.

It's a DCK, baby brother to the Bend O Matic works on the same
principle, but utilises a coil spring, as opposed to a Bourdon tube.
