Not that it is an earth-shattering thing, but I'm really happy about my DW Mistral rebuild and had to show it off.
I bought this regulator at a cheap price and the original hoses were a dingy yellow but in decent shape. Everything was all original and it appeared that the clips had not been removed before (although they could have been removed carefully).
Inside, everything was super clean and the duckbill was still intact.
I replaced most everything anyway and added a duckbill eliminator.
Removing the remains of the old duckbill was a real b#&!$@ and had to soak and scrape for quite a while. It made me appreciate the cleanness and easy of installing a DBL.
Now she's ready for a dip in the pool first and a salty dip in the near future.
This is a W. Pico Mistral which I believe should have yellow hoses and yellow straight mouthpiece from what I've read but since this one came with yellow hoses/black mouthpiece, I went with that color scheme with the replacements. I think the yellow/black looks better anyway.
So, here she is! Now it's time to find my next rebuild.
