[PSUBS-MAILIST] OTS comms sources

[David Colombo via Personal_Submersibles]

Sean, I purchased all of my units on Ebay as well. The source for my
topside base unit, diver unit, and (6) headsets all were from a sheriff's
office that was updating all of their diver gear. Most of the headsets
looked like they had never been used, and the base and diver unit had very
little wear. So outside of Ebay, local law enforcement who have diver
recovery teams might be a resource before they hit ebay. It would require a
little bit of leg work, but if units are planned to be replaced it could be
a resource for the psubs community.


Best Regards,
David Colombo
