Stuff on the shelf

[vance]

Because there isn't much action on the board lately, I thought I'd post about the bookshelf regs. There's nothing new here.

I was just looking at the regulators on the shelves in my bookcase. There are lots more in crates in the basement, but these I keep out so I can look at 'em.

There's a Northill (only there b/c it's unfinished), the Misuba Rev5 (modded Healthways valve with Conshelf HP guts in Mistral boxes), the Chimera (RAM valve in Kraken boxes), a Dacor 4/800 conversion (in James' 3D boxes), a Titan II conversion in FX boxes, a Titan II in Mistral boxes, a pristine HW GL (promised to a board member), the 3D Divair (fiberglass Divair body with a James 3D cover), a partial Dacor R-2 (no exhaust horn ring or cover), a modded Scuba (Vance air director, James 3D exhaust diaphragm retainer/Vance ss clamp, Vance silicone DB), and an early Broxton with a repro label.

There are also 2 sets of modded boxes that will fit either Dacor 4/800 or Titan II bodies.  

These seem to be the ones I'm most attached to. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't move some of them on to make room for something new.

I think I'll always keep these:

1. Misuba Rev5
2. 3D DivAir
3. Scuba with mods
4. James boxed Dacor 4/800
5. Titan II in Mistral boxes

I only have USD and Voit DH regulators. But that’s on purpose. Easy to rebuild, parts are readily available and they breathe great when properly tuned. Even the Broxton’s and Overpressures aren’t bad if tuned. I’m trying to make a historical collection from 1952 to 1972. Of course, they all would have to be dive ready.

Nothing wrong with focus!

Phil, what say I come by sometime and we finish that Scubair? Do you still want me to paint something for you?
