Hi,
I think I picked up an early DA Aquamaster.
Unlike the others I've had this one:
- Has no serial number,
- Has a body that looks like a previous model 2 stage,
- No hookah or even a stub,
- Extra tapped holes in body,
- The demand lever tabs appear to have never been bent,
- The 1st stage adjustment nut was peened.
(I'd upload files but there's an error.)

Sounds like a really early DA...I can't upload pictures either, Ron will fix it when he has a chance I'm sure.
Doing it right should include some common sense, not just blindly following specs and instructions. .Gary D, AWAP on SB

One like this? Darn fine regulator. Wish I still owned it! These pictures were taken after I rebuilt it.

Re: Early DA Aqua-master
Nice find. I got one of these a few months ago. Very clear USD just machined earlier style bodies to take the new second stage, after they had been chromed, so there is no chrome in the remachined holes. I transferred the phoenix nozzle off another reg I had to it so as to not have the hookah port in the way.
