Those were very interesting regulators. Thanks
John
PS--to see the regulators, look at the menu on the left side of the page, select "Preise" then select "Sammlestuke" (sorry, but no umlout on the "u" in this one).

That was some great looking equipment! Obviously they have a great regard for their diving heritage. Did you notice the great condition all the rubber on those regs was in? They all looked new!

nice stuff,
prices are high, but if the description accurate (new membrane , good rubber parts) not over the top. The price seems to reflect the difficuliy to find spares for european regulators.
A draeger duomat will fetch 250 euro on ebay, but if the membrane is torn there is no way to replace it , exept hunting on ebay, hoping for another duomat.
the last years i have only once seen draeger parts coming up on ebay, i think the new membrane went for 200 euro, nearly the price of a complete regulator.
the only exeption is the medi, wich is cheap, and parts are no problem to find
cheers, Hubert

No, that's a lowercase U with acute accent. A lowercase U with umlaut is alt+129 (or alt+0252). "Preise" are "prices" and "Sammlerstücke" are "collectors' items".
As for the prices, some of the items they sell are marked as including Value Added Tax (MwSt or Mehrwertsteuer). It's possible that purchasers outside the European Union may not have to pay this tax.

Yes - these regs are really nice. I know "Hubsi" from some visitings. He has a service-station for all kind of regulators and researched the history of diving regs. I believe that his description is exactly what the reg is. By the way - if anybody is interested in a german high-end doublehose: have a look at my auction under cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=8738852476&ssPageName=STRK will be - as I think - be quite cheaper than these regs.

A lowercase U with umlaut is alt+129 (or alt+0252). Hey! How are you guys doing that!? I try it on my computer and nothing changes the letter. Can someone explain it to me step-by-step? Does it also work with a-umlaut?

Duckbill,
It doesn't work on my Mac G5 keyboard either. 129 +129

This method works on a PC, but not on a laptop. Here it is, step by step: 1. Make sure your Num Lock light is on above the number keypad on the right of the keyboard. If not, press the Num Lock key once. 2. Press down the alt key on the left of the space bar. Don't release it yet. 3. Type 132 or 0228 on the number keypad to generate "ä". Don't use the number keys on the main keyboard. 4. Release the alt key. The lowercase A with umlaut should appear. Let me know if this doesn't work on your machine. For a full list of the non-keyboard characters accessible via the alt key and the number keypad, see: www.tomwilson.com/david/accents/alt_key_chars.doc

üä Hey, it works! Thanks. Kind of a pain if I were writing a letter, but I did find that on mine locking the numbers was not necessary. Thanks again.
