New England DH
Help me out a little, isn't the New England Divers DH reg a rebranded Sportways Hydrolung? Does anyone have any info on it like a parts breakdown or service manual or any other useful info. I have a lead on one and am looking for info on it for restoration....assuming I can get it.

Re: New England DH
As best as I recall, NED did sell Sportsways manufactured regs as their own house brand. I have never been inside one of the double hose models, but you can find info on the Sportsways in BASIC SCUBA. I would try to get the reg - nice collectible.
The older I get the better I was.

Re: New England DH
I have one. It is definitely a rebranded Sportsways. I have not yet had a chance to crack it open and take a look inside though. I'm not sure which of the Sportsways models specifically it is though. It seems its either the HydroTwin or HydroTwin II though I'm not sure which.
WARNING: Double hose addiction imminent!
