US Divers Wraparound mask purge valve

[2Bobbyo]

My very old US Divers Wraparound mask has a leaking purge valve. I either need a new purge valve or some type of plug to take the place of the purge valve to eliminate it. The purge valve is 5/8" in diameter. I bought a new mask to replace this old one but I really like the old one better. Does anyone know where I can get a new purge valve from or what to use to plug the opening where the plug valve is located? Thanks!

Edit: I thought I had a very old USD wrap around mask, but I don't it's Scubapro.

Well, my purge valve looks ok but my mask has flooded twice. It's not gonna mess up another dive. That was why I was hunting for a new one or a plastic type plug to take the place of it.

Oh I thought I read in the OP that your purge valve is leaking, sorry.
I didn't intend to mislead you but, the mask I have is a Scubapro that was in a USD box. I never cut the seal on the purge on USD mask I had in 1969-70, I guess I tossed it long ago but kept the box and haven't tossed it yet.

I think you could seal the valve with some Aquaseal and not use it. It is a large volume mask however and the purge isn't a bad thing to have on it. Clearing that in one breath is no small feat!
