Found a Healthways SPG. Not sure of the year, but it is the exact same case used by Voit, Scubapro, and Dacor. They must have all bought from the same manufacturer and had their own dials printed. I have the two o-rings needed to rebuild it so yet another project....    Mark- would you please share the sizes of the 2 o-rings. I have several of these gauges in ScubaPro, Healthways, and Sportsways. Thanks |

One word of caution. I placed this gauge on my Spartsways Hydro-Twin, and was getting ready to dive, when it's line burst. I inadvertently placed it on a 3000 psig tank (my twin AL 45s), and it could not handle that pressure. So be careful, as they have a stainless steel netting inside the line, and it may not handle 3000 psig even though the gauge goes up that high. Most tanks of that time were max 2475 psig.

When you reassemble be sure and get the little knob inside the case into the correct slot on the mechanism or it just won't quite fit right.  Here is the same identical unit apart (Sea-Vue). |

John John, thanks, I've wondered about this! JB Here are photos of the guage in question.  _MG_8408 by John Ratliff, on Flickr As you can see, it's a Sportsways Sea-Vue gauge. This was their first gauge, I believe, and was used on their first regulators.  _MG_8409 by John Ratliff, on Flickr Here is that high pressure hose that burst. Note the wire. Until I took this photo today, I thought this was stainless, but I see some rust, so maybe not. John |
