Default Looking for A-14 (or similar) pressure breathing diluter demandregulator

Properly maintained or overhauled and an A-8 or an A-14 will work just
fine.Â* People still fly "antique" aircraft, after all...

Hi Everyone!
I'm looking for an A-14 regulator, or something similar, to prepare for higher altitude wave flights in the Sierra. Curious if anyone has an one laying around they might be willing to part with or lend for a season.
Thanks!
Keith


There's a new A-14 regulator on Amazon.

Hi Jim,
Talking with Britton last year, I think this one is too old to be refurbished by Fluid Power.
Best,
Keith

Bugger.
If not looking for multiple lennies, Mountain High appear to have a more modern and compact system. The A34 is rated to 28,000'. Call them for details.
Those antique A-8s aren't the right tool for the job.
