… I have a couple of these compasses for sale if anyone is interested.

Hi Franz, the diving compass КНМ (Компас наручный Морской) is designed for a max depth of 50m. Compass size 50 X 50 X 40 mm, weight 0.25 kg.

The letters KNM stand for the three Russian words Compass, naruchny ...

Oh the endless fun of Russian rebreathers!

Back in 2005 I modified an IDA 71 to mCCR. Great little rig.

Here are a couple of clips, hope you enjoy

Hey Franz, I believe this belongs to a Dräger PSS-500.

Here are some more details: http://www.e-tell.info/myact/doc_man_lincs/tm1286.pdf

Inspired by the American design (BuShips drawing 610414) for a dressing stool. Fun weekend project :)

The dressing stool measures 50cm x 45cm x 35cm (H x L x W).
Two planks of "Leimholz Eiche" used: 200cm x 40cm x 1,8cm and 80cm x 30cm x 1,8cm

Hi Frank, it is possible make custom hoses by getting parts from a place like http://subaqua-products.co.uk/ or http://www.apdiving.com.

The "local" alternative is to just buy an adapter (P/N A0061 b) from Martin at TecMe http://tecme.de/

If you're able to bring stuff from the US, I recommend ...

Great post Micha! Thanks for sharing.

Here is another method to try at home: use a hot air gun at approx. 230C and some Rothenberger Rosol 3 paste.

Just clean everything with acetone before applying a thin layer of Rosol and then heat it up with the gun. Wash off the residue with some water ...

I first came across a similar helmet stand in our Neustadt meetings and liked the idea immediately. Thinking to myself, these would be even better if one could rotate the helmet for easier display. About a week ago, a SNUDDA Drehplatte smiled at me in IKEA :) . A short stop to the DIY store, and ...

woher stammt dieses Interview?
Vielleicht könnten wir das ja für die TH verwerten?
Es ist ja auch ohne den tragischen Schluss sehr interessant.

Hi Lothar, I first came across this interview a few years ago here: http://www.plongeesanssel.com/files/DecoBrain.pdf

Hello my German friends,

A couple of days ago I got my hands on a Deco-Brain computer, sold as dead.

It came complete with original box and all accessories except the charger. A few cycles on a modern station indicate the NiCd pack still has some life in it after 30 years! The unit itself shows ...

Here is a "different" example I sourced a few years back.

Here is an interesting eBay listing with a 1972 ad for RM4. The RM appears to have S/N 2508 (although it's hard to tell). That would likely place my RM4 pre-1972.

According to the following manual, RM4 numbering started at 2250. Would anyone have more details on how to identify ...

Hi GKAM,

nice restoration, the camera is a cult. If I see the camera, I remember Hans Hass, the red sea and his wonderful oxygen rebreather dives down to crazy 25 meters!

Micha

Thanks Micha - different times, different limits ;)

Bounce dives to 20m+ on oxygen are indeed possible but do carry ...

Let me start by apologizing once again for using English on a German forum. I'm trying to improve, but my German just isn't good enough yet.

Here are some photos from the restoration steps of my RM. I didn't keep full record of each step, just few pictures taken with a smartphone here and there ...

Hallo ihr da,

auf Facebook ist ein interessantes Foto aufgetaucht, es zeigt Präsident John F. Kennedy am 2.April 1962 bei den SEALS. Täuscht mich das, oder hat der Seal ganz rechts ein Dräger Kreislaufgerätß

Jürgen

Servus Jürgen, great eye for detail!

My money would be on the Dräger LT Lund ...

Moin!
Kennt jemand dieses Uhrengehäuse? Die Uhr im Innern ist nicht "vintage". . . Ob das Armband echt ist?

Hi Franz - my apologies for answering in English. The strap is definitely not old. AFAIK it comes as standard on the Suunto SK6 compass. I believe I may have a spare one somewhere; also ...

welcome here in our forum. Nice restored "Nixe", is this the unit from your "old" website or an new acquisition?

Micha

Hi Micha - this is my only unit. Stripped down, cleaned, restored and re-painted to the original RAL 5012 color.

Hallo,

"Oxydiver" Michael Müller hat auf seiner Homepage einige interessante Artikel neu eingestellt - einen über seine MEDI "NIXE". Schaut mal vorbei....

Fascinating little oxygen rebreather, the DDR cousin of Dräger Mod.138. Attaching a photo of a restored unit which lives in Munich ...
