Is UDS-1 dive system still used by anyone?

Is the old U.S. Divers UDS-one Dive System from the 1970's still bein personally used by any one? I just found 1 & wonder if it is trash or treasure. I udnertsand you can not get them tested because of odd sized fittings. A picture of one is at:

Definitely not trash, but if you wanna get the tanks hydroed, you're gonna spend some bucks!! I had a guy bring a set to me one time and my hydro guy had to have a special spud made up. Since he had never seen this size before, it was my customer's responsibility to pay for the spud. The customer got the three tanks back all originally tested along with a spud in a bag for next time.

So far on top of three hydros and a new spud, the manifold is also a first stage regulator so it needs to strictly be overhasuled as well. Remember what I said about big bucks??

He still dives with it occasionally!
