Hi there,
What are the differences between the DA Navy Approved Blue Labels and a DA Aquamaster?
How hard are the DA Navy's to restore?
Did the DA Navy's ever come fitted with a band clamp or was that a modification?
Cheers!

The DA Navy Approved regulators retained the horseshoe lever systems of the original regulators. DA Aqua-Masters were the 1st to use the updated system with the venturi assist.

If you mean "restore" as in hang on the wall it really does not matter if it works at all....If you mean to rebuild/service and make dive-able then I would say that most people find that working with the early horseshoe lever regulators difficult at best and disappointing in their results. As with anything, you will find varying opinions on this as well. Manuals for servicing, setting up and using the horseshoe regulators can be found in the download section. Look under USD manuals and Scripps Manual

No.....Nor did any USD regulators until late 66 or 67 best of my knowledge.
Cheers!
