Well they ain't exactly my gauges, but they are kind of interesting. If you look closely at the Swimaster SPG on the right, you'll notice a scale on the inside. You guys should be able to figure out what it indicates. Good Dives, Charlie That gauge on the right reminded me of the Scubapro “Dive Timer” from the 70’s. It was a pressure gauge only on the surface (read the gauge). It was an oil filled pressure gauge that change the reading with depth to give you an estimated time left of air based on two scales of air consumption (1 cfm and 1.5 cfm, SAC rate). This gauge only worked with a steel 72. We sold a few at Divers Service Center in PR, but they were not very popular or practical. Scubapro dive timer: Here are some of my gauges.

Wow! Talk about a show stopper. I dragged a few out too. Nowhere near as many as the museum but still a silly, almost, out-of-control personal collection that I plan to dive once I weed out the duds. I doubt I'll display the gauges on hoses or the modern ones until my man cave is complete sometime in 2020. DD

Here is one of my favorites. I have quite a few of the hoser variety, but this one is just too cool. But you can't guess what its going on JB...

WOW--neatopaskeeto! Dang, I really like that: I wonder who was doing the designs for them? DD, you know that Tekna and Farallon are the same, right? They were a SF Bay Area company too, now part of Oceanic, who are in San Leandro, BTW!

Okay, Jaybird, I did finally get some gauge photos: This is my Scubapro gauge set that I've had since the 1980s, for my A.I.R. I regulator. Here's a different Scubapro pressure gauge. I got this Dacor depth gauge, but it is almost unreadable. I have yet to figure out how to get the plastic case apart without destroying it, so it sits... A Farallon pressure gauge, with a depth gauge on the other side. I got these a while back, and find them handy (two of them) This is probably the best counsel I have, with the three gauges. I have it on my Pacer 900 regulator that is used with the Nautilus CVS. Here's the backside with the writing slate. John

The USD console in the middle is my wife's for her connie XIV. The blue Pennform is for my Dacor Olympic-400, and the Farallon is for my HW Scubair-II J: Jaybird

Airflow gauge with yoke adapter. I picked this up a couple of years ago. Unfortunately the person I bought it from opened the box to see what it was. It was unused, but it only works if the tank is empty...the needle doesn't move.

These are the only 2 pressure gauges I have that share the same needle. Both have the ?Sea Turtle? Although it looks more like a bird to me.

Dang, ya know, I've personally never seen anything this bad: TARFU-totally and royally effed up--WOW--kinda awesome! I can't help but wonder why the case was glued back together--holy doo-doo! Anyone else have anything this messed up? And no DD, not even I'd try to fix this one Oh, and you can hear what's left of the indicator hand rattling around Jaybird
