Vintage Double Hose

A member of the club brought in this for show and tell. NIB. The first stage is very simple and screws into the valve like a DIN. I assume one needed a similar valve to make it work. The pressure checker is just a button/pony style gauge that also screws in the same way.

The "AIRFLO" a DIN wannabe I guess. If you down load the 70 Healthways catalog, it is in it. The gauge was a an additional $12.....a $13 value according to the ad.
Later in the catalog, there is an optional yoke adapter and it discusses the new Healthways valves all coming threaded to accomidate both the Airflo and standard yoke regs. I would like to play with one but so far the ones of these that have come up on ebay are more expensive than I care to play with. A have yet to see one of the threaded valves so even if you find an Airflo, you still need to find one of the valves.....still, a toy I would like to play with some day.

I have one (maybe a couple) of those valves. They look just like the other Healtways J valves, but when you look closely their is a hole just inside the O-ring that is threaded.

I have also kept an eye for one of those regulators, but they fairly rare.

IMO, they fall in the category of a bad idea and I am glad that it never became popular.

I agree, it does not really seem practical but still, it is different (odd?) enough to have a cool factor to it which is the reason I would like to have one.

Don't get me wrong... I would like to have one also. Then again, I also own a US Divers Deepstar-II... talking a bout bad ideas.

They are great conversation pieces.

Yes, caused some discussion at the meeting. The member bought it at a flea market for $5.

Off line for about a week so I won't reply any more.
