John,
Nice job! Your answers to the questions about this tank and valve should be very informative to LilMarie.
LilMarie,
Don't forget to post the pictures of your tank and valve when you get it back from testing.
We will try to answer any further questions you may have regarding your tank and valve.
Regards,
JES

lilmarie,
Is your husband interested in contract work? Can not guarrantee anything, but one of the divisions of the company I work for "may have", from time to time, some diving jobs that your husband might want to bid on.
The company is called DynMarine, located in Falls Church Va. Don't have an address or phone number at present.
If he is interested, good luck........
Texas by God!

I might add that there was one other little characteristic of the "R" or restricted oriface reserve valve/regulator that helped lead to its demise. This is the fact that if the diver needed to descend before he could ascend, his/her air supply was effectively cut off. For those who were exploring shipwrecks, or in caves, this would be a very undesirable characteristic. That is probably one of the reasons Dacor moved away from these valves.

Linda & SeaRat: Thank you very much for the information you shared and thanks for just being real people. I've been doing alot of reading on different areas concerning the underwater world and hopefully I'll be able to certify. Also, SeaRat you seem to have alot of knowledge about the wonders of the underworld and I also want to thank you for being as kind as you were with your reply. The information you supplied was very helpful and I hope to be hearing from you on some other inquiries I may have or just to swap new information about how the diving world started. Like you said sometimes people get to wrapped up in nonsense and forget what it's really all about. Bryan, just a little something I think you should seriously consider. Sometimes you should really step back and look at an inquiry for what it's worth. I would like to apologize to the other memebers for the nonsense that went along with a simple inquiry about a valve. I guess some people really have a hard time with people asking simple questions without getting their underwear in a knot. Once again thanks for the information, you were really great. Catch ya later. Thanks, LilMarie  |

Mossback:
I told my old man about the contract and he was very interested. When you get a means of contact it would be greatly appreciated if you could drop him a line. (mnydvr).

Having been gone for the past two weeks and missing this thread, which appears to have caused a few controversial moments, I will add to SeaRats discussion with illustrations from Roberts' book, "Basic Scuba". The first is the Positive Reserve "R" Valve by US Divers. Roberts, Fred M., Basic Scuba, D Van Nostrand Co., Inc., Princeton, NJ, 1960, p. 181. The second is the Dacor Positive Reserve Valve Roberts, Fred M., Basic Scuba, D Van Nostrand Co., Inc., Princeton, NJ, 1960, p. 183. Hopefully these illustrations will aid in this discussion. |

Somonebeans:
The diagram of the Dacor valve you sent is the valve on this tank. Thanks for information.
I want to buy an underwater light for Danny that would give him a little bit more visability. We've been getting these little storms every now and then, and the water becomes cloudy and that's the end of that dive. It would need to be a light that can be attached to a headband of some sort or is there any that could be attached to his mask. I'm not looking for anything fancy because he will be using it for work.
