Re: Faber 50s

The Nemrod solid bar manifolds are pretty cool as well- this one:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/WOW-Nemrod-3-4- ... 1c35859a7e

has both the center manifold port and another on the right post (diver's right when worn). Either the center port or the right post port can be shut down-and my understanding is that the gas from both tanks will be available at all times to either port even if the other port is shut off…it is not an isolation manifold like most available today-but I think that is fine for non-tech divers in most recreational diving situations (guessing that is most of us/most of the time here). This or the two-port Sherwood Selpac allows a redundant single-hose reg mounted on the second port…especially a vintage :wink: single hose reg.

Cheers, Tim

Tanks are available, as is the manifold and harness, but bands are not so much. You might be able to get a set of bands somewhere, unfortunately, they are not currently available. Maybe someday.

Now this set might be for sale. PM and we can talk if interested.
Well, they were "sold", but there was a change in plans of the buyer so they are again available.
Will have new hydro, viz, harness can be as is or one made to fit you. If interested, PM

I dive a set of Faber 75s (9Lt) with a Sportsway's manifold. It works for me. 8)
