unit I have some of the tempoary glues to fix for example zippers covers
gives
way. <BR>The neck skirt was extremly hard and the water signal maker
tends to
leak. They are pretty old. From the 90ies or so. <BR><BR>But on a price
of 15
USD - means less than 1% of the original price I would suggest
the
following formular: <BR><BR>Unit to use x 2, plus one training
unit,
puls 1 for destroy test, plus a additional amout for
later sale for
Psubs friends. <BR><BR>For a 3 person sub this means 3 x 2 +1 + 1 + 2 =
10 units
= 150 USD. <BR>Or in case of real use 50 USD per life. <BR>say remainig
life
after successfull emergency exist is 40 years this means : 50 /40 = 1.25
USD per
year of life. <BR>But it depents stroong on how old are you and how
often you
have to emergency exit your sub.. <BR><BR>Statistic is nice.. isn't it ?
<BR><BR>Even if the units have problems: Bring them to a cpompany built
rubber
boats or duiver suits. Strip them an rebuild them. <BR>Will be much
cheaper than
to purchase new ones.<BR><BR>By the way I order one forward. test them,
calculate the fixing cost and order than 9 more. <BR><BR>If you can
choose ask
the guy if he can look for the samp outside of the bag and select
younger
building years...<BR><BR>vbr Carsten<BR>

<DIV>Carsten,</DIV>
<DIV>I've wondered how long a Steinke hood is good in storage. Do
any of
the components deteriorate over time and require replacement?</DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>

<DIV>Does anyone know where to get / or how to make a Steinke
hood? I
thought I saw Cliff had one for the R-300. That would be a really
nice
safety addition to my sub.</DIV>
