UV 26 /18 Scooter (s) and TEKNA project

[OFG-1]

I have a SS UV-26 with a 18 conversion, or a UV 18 with a 26 conversion, depending on if you are left handed or right handed. It is in good shape, the batteries for the 18 portion are new Genesis batteries, ( I can run about 100 minutes on them), only about 12 dives on them, dated October 2014. The 26 batteries need to be replaced. $2250 OBO.

I have another UV-18, well kinda sorta. It started out from SS as one of their original ni-cad scooters with the old Saft battery in it. The ni cads died, and I put a pair of 20ah batteries , the same one that are in a Tekna or Mako, and it works great. Batteries about a year old, maybe 20 dives, I can get 75 minutes on them. It is the same weight and size as the UV 18. $1750.00 OBO.

Now, I have not tried to run either scooter until the batteries were dead, I have not burn tested them, your times may be better or worse.

Both are black, round, and look the same as every other UV 18 in the world, but I will try to get pictures if requested.

I also have a TEKNA DV3x with a good condition travel case. It is apart, not together, in bags, pieces not assembled. It did run well for years, and I decided it needed new O rings and seals. There were some cracked bulkheads, I replaced or repaired them. It has a new shaft seal. I have most of the O rings. It needs a new motor compartment O ring and someone with enough patience to rub all of the damn silicone sealant off of the o ring mating surfaces at the motor bulkhead. There are no batteries or charger with it, but I have the charger plug. $300.00.

Anyone typing in only "dibs" will be cursed with a old Arabic curse, "may the fleas of 1000 camels infest your pee valve."

what year is the motor on the 18/26?

Greetings

I don't remember. It is the second generation motor on both, I believe.

ok so post '07?

No, I said I do not remember, but I BELIEVE they are 2nd generation. Rodney could tell you when the original Ni cad scooters with the Saft batteries were made, I really do not remember the other one. At my age, the only thing I remember is the Alamo.

EDIT - I just talked to Suzie and she told me that the scooter with the Saft batteries was in 2004, so it is not a Submerge motor, but a rewound MAKO motor. Sorry, I told you I didn't remember. I will look at the other one tonight.

Good morning all

i had another conversation with Suzie yesterday evening, and it appears that both scooters are first generation, older than '07 with the rewound MAKO motors, not the newer SS motors. As such, I will drop the prices to:
1 - UV 18/26 combo $1950.
2 - UV 18 with non standard batteries $1500.00.

Sorry for the confusion.
