Well he brought up 3 tank valves. 2 singles, and 1 double.
Now being still a little young in diving, I thought these were a little wierd as there is a switch on one side. I presume that these are J-valves, am I correct?
Are they still worth using?
Thanks for the input.

They are a J-valve, you are correct!!
The modern K valves are better now--I would use one of those myself...but you can 'disarm' the reserve portion of the old J's and use them assuming they are in working order and rebuilt inside......vintage gear divers like them as is and will rebuild them to use with their vintage set-ups. I started diving on J valves in the early 70's....oh the days--lol!
