Suggested replacement Bladder for At-Pac

[RonMurray]

Guys and Gals - I have an old At-Pac, 1975 with the plastic shell.

I'd like to bring it out of retirement but I expect the bladder is trashed. Anyone have any suggestions for a wing that might be the best / easiest option (ie. dimensionally similar and require the least modification) for replacement of the original?

Thanks in advance.

Before you work on a new bladder, be sure the weight chute is usable. The At-PAC had trouble with the lead shot adhering to itself, and not coming out of the weight chute, at all. So check that out first, then see whether the bladder is intact.

This is the Seatec referenced - they have a couple models that look very similar to what I remember mine looked like.

Also I'm pretty sure SDM is our own Dr. Sam Miller - sam miller

Thanks SeaRat, I have indeed done as you suggested a few years ago when I was moving it around. Saved all the shot and marbles that were in it and cleaner up the pin and trapdoor. Thanks for the suggestion.

Here is a nice history of the AtPac by John A from 2014 I hope it has some information you'll find useful. From the VDH Manuals and Catalogs section.
