How did you acquire the Mentor.

Come on Cap. You pay anyone enough you can get anything. You know he can't tell you that. Navy property ect.

Hi Captain,
It came from France...I traded it for some DHR I had duplicated in my collection!

The owner didn't want to sell it....he is a collector....he wanted to trade it for other rare regulator...and he traded it...money didn't talk!

I new of two Mentors in private hands. I new one was in France, he is a very nice guy. He must have really wanted what you had in trade.


Actually, if that Mentor has not been in the water, maybe that is not the one I am thinking of.



Thanks for the pictures.

Every one is ignoring the Aire Liquide and this is a vintage board...I had an Aire Liquide as they were originally called in the 1950s...Probably the most dangerous regulator ever produced for a number of reasons. Most were tossed due to metric parts with the introduction of US produced DAs with SAE parts. You are fortunate to have this one. I will respond in detail on VDH when I have more time SDM
