Cert early 80s and have been into vintage for 8 yrs now. Modest collection : Rene triples, pst lp45 twins, twin 38's. Nemrod, Mistral, DAAM, Dacor regs.
I have been to this site in the course of interwebz searches...thought I'd make it official.
Any other Florida peeps?
I lived in South Florida for a number of years, only meeting one other seasonal vintage diver. I worked in a busy dive shop too.
In N FL, now.
Thx.

Ahoy FM: sending a big hearty welcome from the The Golden State  What kind of Dacor gear do you have? I have numerous Olympics and two C-3 Clippers, one is for my wife   My drug of choice though, is anything Healthways   I hope you can share some images of your gear with us  Jaybird |

FM, technically, you only need one for the R3, as you can use a duckbill for the exhaust Basically the Clipper is the same reg with the second diaphragm "clipped" off.  Here are some of my regulators:   Jaybird |

Floridaman, 'Glad to see you here, and making it official. Note that we have one member who is actively working on diaphragms for the Dacor double hose regulators (R-2 through R-4 & Clipper). vintagescuba.proboards.com/thread/5520/avian-dentistry-aka-dacor-diaphragmsI have a number of Dacor double hose, and like them a lot. I had converted my Clipper to a R-4, and have just converted it back as I acquired a Clipper original duckbill (somewhat different than the U.S. Divers Company and AMF Voit duckbills).  IMG_1776 by John Ratliff, on Flickr This photo shows my Clipper and a Dacor Dart regulator mounted on a Scubapro two-post valve (rather rare manifold).  IMG_1760 by John Ratliff, on Flickr Here's the inside of my Clipper/R-4 regulator. Note the take that I placed to (perhaps) increase the Venturi effect.  IMG_1759 by John Ratliff, on Flickr Here is the Dacor duckbill I acquired, in place in the Clipper top box.  IMG_1758 by John Ratliff, on Flickr Here is my low modulus Dacor diaphragm, with a "set" to one side, but still functional.  IMG_1757 by John Ratliff, on Flickr This is the actual Dacor duckbill before I put it into the Clipper. John |
