Hammerheads on Inspiration, used market value?

tele · 15th September 2008, 05:07

Hello,

Slowly, aspiring rebreather diver here.

I own an Inspiration Classic, and was figuring due to the older handsets and the fact mine has euro (non-DOT) cylinders I'd probably look to sell it and pick up an Optima. However, the main thing that interests me on the Optima is the Hammerhead computers. I know JM makes scrubber lids with mating hammerheads & the HUD LED.

Does anyone know the fair used market price on them? I remember there was a set on ebay some time ago, but they were the clear ones. At that time I wasn't paying much attention. Recently on here there was a delrin machined style newer handset rig (FX?) but no pricing data.

The Vision computers of course would be another option, they look nice.

Don't need/care about trimix.

You might also want to consider the Shearwater Pursuit conversion if you're considering upgrading a Classic (This is the route I intend to take with my Classic next year

).

I looked at them, beautiful computers indeed! Finally some progress! A bit too expensive for my blood. I'm never cheap to the degree of risking safety with diving, but generally stick to used equipment. That being said, once the Pursuit gets a bit older....
