As @tbone1004 suggested, parts costs get a little prohibitive with Poseidon. If you liked those regs in the past, you're in good company. They're all easily returned to service.
If you're undecided, for the cost of 2-way postage it's easy enough to look them over and let you know what you're in for. @tbone1004 had it right in picking the parts most likely to have failed in storage, as well as their rough cost. But if they're not all affected, you could be looking at much less. And I have used and new hoses in stock.
Still, there are other brands that can be serviced for less. It all depends on where your preferences lie.
Only one way to find out unless you just want to reBay them. No charge for me to take a look.

Are you saying you'd disassemble and inspect them for free? I feel like I'd be stupid not to pay postage for that.

Yes, I am. Free. However, if it turns out that service would be too expensive, you may end up feeling that $40-60 postage for two ways was a waste of money. Your call. Happy to help!

For those reading along, this is what @tbone1004 was pointing out:
Diaphragm (from storing in the "-" position)

Servo valve (this one is XStream, but same issue of bent shaft)

Valve piston (sandblasting from tank oxides),
though I can sometimes polish this out instead of replacing the piston.

$105 for those three parts...
 
a yoke poseidon, I have only even seen one other one. It is laying my garage somewhere.
Those are still fairly common in the EU . . .

they probably are fine to use but if you need to change the hose length or they're starting to get weird on the OPV mechanism if they've seen too much salt they don't make them anymore
I found that the OPV is still available.

Pricey, to be sure; but those that I have, do not leak . . .
