Sherwood first stage identification

[dp_stickney]

Hi everyone. I have a regulator set with a Sherwood Magnum Blizzard second stage and a piston first stage that I'd like to properly identify. Please see the attached photo. I'd love to hear your feedback.

Thank you very much!

It's a Sherwood SRB3205 1st stage from the late 80ties.........

As above..and it has the old dry bleed valve.

The timing sounds right axxel57 and SubseaSports since the console is Dakor. Thank you both!

I'm going to check to see if they still make service kits for these. This one is pristine, but has a low IP (125). May need shims or a new spring.

Does the dry bleed work properly? If it doesn't, there is no replacement part, other than finding a reg with one that works.

What Bob said...if it works, kits are available just google it.
If you get to the point of needing shims, I have those.

Aside from NOT GETTING ANY GREASE IN OR AROUND THE BLEED ASSEMBLY, this from the manual is important in determining if it is working correctly:

btw - a shot glass is 44 cc (so +/- half a shot glass in a minute)..

Because everyone has one handy.
