FS: tanks, SM BCs, lights, fins, misc

[PsychDiver]

Spring cleaning; clearing out the shed. Been buying gear for a few years, time to see if someone can use the stuff I'm not using. I'm a 6'1" 185 lb guy with size 11.5 feet so everything is sized for me unless specified otherwise, e.g. the fins are L-XL, BCs are L-XL, etc.

Tanks:

PST Steel 80’s
Sold to me as pst lp 85's but must be lp-80s; they're a little bit smaller than my Worthington 85’s and PST didn’t make an 85 AFAIK so I'm selling as 80s. I got them from Bert Wilcher.
Hydro & Vis 2/14; don't know BOD
R/L valves for SM
$375

Worthington LP 108
Hydro & Vis 8/14; don't know BOD
R/L valves for SM
(cam bands/rubber straps not included)
$400

Lights:

UWLD 1500 lumen 96WH sidemount
New. Been in my bathtub once to fire it up. Worked fine but decided to go with something else. My loss is your gain.
$700

AndrewY home-brew light
http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/cla...ight-beam.html
Dove it once, decided to go with something else. Again, my loss is your gain:
$225

Dive Rite RX8 hand-held primary
Again, another light I tried but decided to go with something else. Note: I am NOT including the soft glove with the QRM system on it (the QRM striker is on the light).
$175

Fins:

Seac GP100 spring heel fins
When I went sidemount I spent a lot of time trying to find something lighter than my Jets that I liked; this was one try, but I went with something else. Dove them twice I think.
$60

Hollis F2
Ultra lightweight fin. Good for travel. Used maybe 10 times.
$70

Aqualung V-Tec split fins:
Be the envy of your cave diving friends!
New! (I didn't actually buy these; they came in a package with a used drysuit)
$35

Dacor Graphite
Someone suggested these as a lightweight Jet replacement. They are indeed very lightweight. Might be hard to put spring straps on them, but I think I paid $17 on eBay for them so it wasn't a big deal. These are old scratched up fins but work fine.
$10

Sidemount BCs:

DiveRite XT (2013 model)
This was my first sidemount rig and it's served me well but I've migrated to a SM only style. Got some wear but no tear. Fully functional, minor mods. Can't remember exactly what they are, but Lamar loaned me his one day before I bought this one (good sales pitch) and I modded mine so it was like his.
$400

Hollis SMS50 sport
My first try at a SM-only style rig. I modded it a little by swapping the inflator and dump valves and running a long string from the dump down the left shoulder strap. Dove it once with my Worthington 85's and it had plenty of lift despite the warnings to use AL only. However, I also dive 108s with a stage and deco bottle and decided to go with more lift.
$225

Misc:

Highland 8" bands
Off a set of doubles I split for sidemount
$60

Dive Rite isolator
Off that same set of doubles
$25

DUI Rock Boots, Size 9
old but never been in the water (also came with that drysuit)
$40

Hog Razorback mask
Never unwrapped
$20

Ankle weights (for your floaty-footed friend)
free to a good home

All items are plus shipping (will not ship the tanks) or are available for pick up in Tampa or delivery to Cave Country.

Wouldn't let me attach more than 10 images to one post so here are pics of the lights:

would you take 175 for the homebrew light?

i'm interested to know what light you finally settled on.

I was looking for a replacement for my Hector Ortiz made (Technical Lighting Services; TLS) light. I really like that Hector light -- the light head is great -- one of his later 5-LED light heads, which he said was about 1200 lumens, but it's definitely brighter than the UWLD 1500 lumen light (although it doesn't light up the cave the way the upper end UWLD lights do). While Hector's light head is great, his can and battery not so much, and he's out of business so I can't get replacement parts from him. I've replaced the battery pack twice, and I've had to do various super-glue and similar repairs to the can, but I figured the writing was on the wall. So I was trying to find a solution that wasn't going to set me back $1500 - $2K, and all these were failed attempts -- all of their beams are, IMHO, inferior to the beam from my Hector light. So I've glued and wired and kept the Hector light alive, for now. My spare primary is a BigBlue 2800P -- I got one as a video light, then got the technical light head for it. It's beam is pretty close to the Hector light (although it's only a 3 LED head). So I've to no use for the UWLD, RX8, or Andrew lights -- nothing wrong with them, I just don't like them as much as my old Hector light. Still looking for the perfect replacement.
