R190?

[MARK74]

Hello friends, I have seen this R190 for sale 2 @ hand and it is the first one I have seen with an adjustment knob. Was there any edition with a barrel and an adjustable knob?
My other hypothesis is that they have changed the front cover, what do you think?

Thanks and regards

different cover on a g-series... Truth is to remove the cover and see what type of valve is in it... That diaphragm looks odd too...

Fairly old MK-2 also...

I would guess that is a common blue diaphragm with a red/orange spacer ring.

I have not seen it in person, on the second-hand sales page only this photo appears, but I do not associate it with the R190 that I know of.

I suspect the original purge cover broke and they put this one on it.
Could it be a G250?
Although it was not very common to see it paired with a Mk2.
I have no option to see it before buying, hence my doubt.

It's a Franken reg. I'm going with a Graphite. A photo of flow vane could confirm my suspicion.

Was about to DM you as haven't seen you for while. Glad to see you again.

Hello Simón, the seller only has that photo on, I think he had several regulators that over time broke and this set is what he has left, he probably had a G250 as main and the R190 octo, it was breaking part of the team and with the remains he has assembled this set.
I love taking a mess like that and restoring it properly.
I am negotiating.

Greetings Simon

Be careful, hard parts like face plates etc are hard to find unless you already have a box of spares. If you want a real G250 let me know and I can hook you up.

I think he switched covers, first pic withe the 190 cover on a 250 as the disassembled pic is a 190 and I believe a 250 cover.
