Tree stump? Ridiculous idea.
Hmmm. I'll need to get a wood lathe. There's a pretty nice hardwood stump up at the cabin....

Yup, the Conshelf guts will fit in the nearly identical to the Conshelf VI (on the inside) HW long valve. 100_1069 by Vancetp, on Flickr This photo shows the short HW valve (left) and the long valve. The Conshelf parts will not fit inside the short valve body. DSCF2469 by Vancetp, on Flickr Then, you stick it all up in a Mistral box!

I just missed another DAM attaching itself to me. Whew! I usually only bid up to $75 on them, unless I think it might have good hoses. This one sold for $102.
Good, someone else can rebuild it.
However, I just negotiated for a SCUBA with a Hope-Page for $80. I need another SCUBA like I need a hole in the head. But, I dove in for 2 reasons: first is, it's a long valve. Now you know what that means (or go up 1 or 2 posts)! Also, I pledged to myself that I'd rescue every H-P I could, and now I've salvaged one more.

The H-P is an awesome mouthpiece. James has made it a bit better with his improved WWs, but it's a good performer as is.

Here's another super nice DAAM that I built out of a set of boxes I traded for with Bill T. It's really hard to get a good photo of the shiny ones. I threw my shadow over it in an attempt to capture something other than glare. Inside is super clean. This one is probably going up for sale with a new silicone diaphragm and blue hoseloop.
