Well, I've disassembled the reg. Under the sintered filter is a little "plate" of metal with a small hole in the middle. I've not had any luck disassembling it further. Does this come out? What's behind it? Should I bother removing it?
Also, does anyone know the purpose of the hole in the box, covered in a rubber seal, where the exhaust comes in? Why is it there? Does it help, in some way, with balancing the exhalation pressure or something?

If you hear anything about a Healthways PDF please include me.

I have two of them and I would like to get them working again.

I was just looking at a manual that had Healthways 2 hosers in it....And I think.....I repeat.....I think that I may have had a whole pile of the HP seats for those regulators. If they are the part that looks like a square white nylon piece with a cone point on them I am almost sure of it.... Perhaps if one of you could post a picture I could be sure.......I got them in a whole pile of parts that I purchased with Ron Miller and or another auction of parts that I sent most of it to Tom Madere thinking they were valve parts. I honestly didn't recognize what they were.
Post a photo and perhaps I can clear it up. Hope this helps.

Jim, you might go to your local dive shop with your Hope Paige mouthpiece and there is always a chance that a BC overpressure mushroom valve will work. If you are lucky they will let you check all the mushroom valves they have. I have not has success finding them but someone will....

Here's a photo from Searat that shows the seat. It's the white nylon bit. If that's what you have, how much do you want a piece for them?
