I'm very interested to see how much you get. :)

I've got one too, just been fully overhauled and is in A! nick. However, mine is not for sale.

[Eddie Clamp]

Well!! I don't think there is too much worry about me and your Merlins. ;) Not a lot of offers yet. Glad to hear you are still getting on with yours.

Practice your buddy breathing often. Not many will know about techniques required. But I expect you are up to it!! :p

I'm rather hoping that someone has got a complete dog somewhere.

I've been looking for a twin-hose reg for a while. It doesn't need to be in good nick - it's never going in the water again. In fact, it's a completely non-diving-related project. And, as it probably won't work anyway, I don't want to shell out proper money, nor do I want to wreck a nice piece of kit...

Don't think my Merlin is going back in the sea again! :(

Last time I used it was Nov 1981 when I carried out my last Mary Rose dive. Historical value or not?? :p

Moved on since then!!

[Eddie Clamp]

Do I take it that my old Merlin is of no commercial value whatsoever!!
Sob!!! :o

I think I'll keep mine. Sentimental value is more than that.

Anyhoo, I intend to show some of the newbies how diving should be done. I need a black leaky 'shark skin' wet suit with yellow stripes. I've got everything else, including a black round mask!!

My dearly beloved (Her indoors) chucked my sharkskin with yellow tape out after saying I had embarrassed her on a Red Sea trip. I'm still in mourning!:(

I'm still hanging on to my Merlin though, I've hidden it!:D All that twin hose training came in very handy when rebreathers came along. What price ABLJs making a comeback??:eek:

Not for sale though it is in my display cabinet with all the treasure me and erindoors have picked up of various wrecks, everybody has a good nosy in it when they come to our house, amazing how non diving people are fascinated by the old junk, sorry I mean treasure.

[Odin]

Still got my twin hose.
Wish I kept my Snark DV now....
and my Britmarine snorkel with pingpong ball attachment...

Siebe Gorman Merlin Mk VI twin hose dv. A relic of my early diving days. Requires servicing and new hoses.

Rooting around, I have just found the Siebe Gorman Mark VI Service Manual to go with my dv AND the last service sheet from Collins and Chambers dated 17/1/81. Cost £53.43. Already for my year diving the Mary Rose! Aaaaah!! :p

Siebe Gorman & Co Ltd were located in Chessington in Oct 69 according to the manual. Still there now??? :o

If this guy is still prepared to offer you 50m quid...can I be the middle man and take a cut?

(I'll deliver it for 10%...I've always fancied NZ - and with £5Million in my pocket it'd look even better!)

I'll have to make do with a Buddy horsecollar ablj.

I've still got a Nemrod horsecollar ABLJ in wellnigh perfect condition which I periodically get out and use to the astonishment of the locals.

It means that I have to borrow a weightbelt since I use a weight integrated Wing nowadays.

Cheers,

Christian
