Does anyone have a manual to rebuild the 50 fathom. Thanx, Mac.

I just used the Voit manual off of Vintage Double Hose. I restored one recently using that resource. I have also found an excellent color match heat cured paint if you need to refinish.

I went to VDH but couldn't download the file. And yes I do need to repaint.

The VDH repository is gone. I did download the entirety a little while back, and I'm putting it in my google drive now (a couple hours left on the upload). I'll try to sort out sharing it once it's uploaded. In the meantime, I messaged you my email... if you shoot me an email I'll reply back with the voit manual attached.
respectfully,
James

Several of us here saw the writing on the wall and downloaded all of the VDH files, so they are still available from one of us!

I just went on the VDH website. The files are still available. If you haven't downloaded them it might be a good idea to do it PDQ

You might want to check out this thread too: vintagescuba.proboards.com/thread/4631/voit-50-fathom-regulatorWe have discussed this regulator here quite a bit. John PS, I just read through the above thread, and it talks more about bullets and how far they penetrate into water than the Voit 50 Fathom Regulator. So, if you want a good diversion, read this thread. Otherwise, go to the documents about the Voit 50 Fathom.  PS2, Here is another thread about the 50 Fathom, and on the third page we talk about orienting the large hold down the intake, instead of the factory small hole down the intake. I used that configuration on mine for several years in the 1970s and 1980s, and it became my favorite regulator at that time. vintagescuba.proboards.com/thread/3573/won-50-fathom-on-ebay?page=3PS3, Here’s another thread where we talk about the Voit 50 Fathom: vintagescuba.proboards.com/thread/754/voit-50-fathom-timelinePS4, we have quite a lot of information about the Voit 50 Fathom regulator. This one discusses it as the only downstream single stage regulator produced. vintagescuba.proboards.com/thread/293/stream-single-stage-regulator |

So, which valve body does this use? Is it he same as the Mistral, or the VCR-5?  JB |

FYI
Went to the VDH website and found that the directory structure is there but the downloads are zero bytes. This resource appears to be gone.
