Not really, although just seeing the equipment is cool. Most of the "interesting" scenes involve girls topside in the latest 1967 bikini styles.
Great, now I'm gonna have to rebuild my Trieste to see if I can at least equal yours Bill.antique diver wrote: ↑Sun Apr 12, 2020 11:59 amYou haven't used my Trieste!ScubaLawyer wrote: ↑Sat Apr 11, 2020 4:58 pmI'm so bored that I started to watch Elvis movies. Saw he was wearing a Trieste so took a pic. Always thought it was drugs that killed him, but I'm going to have to rethink that knowing your average Trieste's breathing performance.

Might be nice with the DSV. It has a diverter to reduce "blow-by"....antique diver wrote: ↑Sun Apr 12, 2020 3:04 pmMore later... tied up for a couple of days with family. I'll just say that I was pleased with results after a year tinkering with my hot rod Trieste. No permanent modifications to the original internal parts were necessary. I also did the same modification for another Trieste owner , and he sent it back to have it de-tuned. There was that still an issue that needed resolving, such as some air would waste out the exhaust under certain conditions. That required a little de-tune that took the edge off, but left it performing at a lower level than I wanted. So a little more work was necessary.
Got my attention Bill. I had a Trieste II and I thought that breathed pretty well. I sold that but acquired a first generation Trieste. I am not wild about it's performance. So, if you have a cure, I'd really be interested!antique diver wrote: ↑Sun Apr 12, 2020 3:04 pmMore later... tied up for a couple of days with family.
