Our dive club, Inland Divers Vintage Dive Club was started in 2001, we collect, restore, and dive with old double hose regulators. Last summer we had a get to gather at Lake Wazee with over 20 double hose divers from around the country. We are always looking for new members, if intersted email me, their are no dues or fees.

Looks like the popularity of rebreathers is bringing double hoses back into fashion
The "Aqualung" is being re-released it would appear. Here is a link to pics from a German trade show.
It may not qualify as "Vintage" but would probably be a lot of fun anyway ;D
Here's your chance Chuck to dump that rebreather and get a real double hose regulator.
Double hoses or not OC is just too noisy ;D
This is the latest from Aqualung, but at $900 I think That you would be half way to your own SCR.
