Even though some of this isn't really technically vintage I thought I would post up my latest good fortune that rained down on me.
I don't care to post this anywhere else since most of my friends hang on the vintage forum anyway.
It's not like I'm some schmuck that's here trying to pawn what I think is vintage gear.
You know what I mean.
So anyway, I get a call from my buddy who says he was given some of those old metal regs that I like. Some lady gave them to him because she and her husband were diving in Florida years ago and he got bitten in half by a bull shark. Anyway she was having a closet re done and this old dive gear was in a box that she forgot about. When she rediscovered it she told my buddy to take it out of her sight because she was never going to dive again. In turn he called me and told me to take it because he was never going to use it or rebuild it.
So here it is.
One is a MK5/109 BA
The other 1st stage I don't know what model it is with a 109 second. Included in the box was 2 original SP stab jackets, a womens size and a larger mens size. Both of them have early air II's it looks like (I didn't even know they had them back then)
The regs were probably bought at the same time the jackets were.
I don't know what I'm going to do with the stab jackets since I won't use them, but the regs, hell yeah!
It's funny, here I am finicking and fanaticking on my MK3 trying to pimp it out and now I get all this in my lap, great.
Why not just give a bottle of wiskey to an alcoholic.
The old gear virus, yeah, I'm screwed!
