I needed an Apeks DS4 for a class in 2 weeks, got one on ebay and got the royal screwing. Just wondering if anyone can tell me if this reg is beyond worth fixing, or do you think it can be put back in working order with a good servicing. The description on E-Bay was
"This Regulator was only used on a pony bottle for a few dives
It has gone on several dive trip but has not left my dive bag"
It is crusted with salt, obviously never cleaned or cared for, obviously used for more than "a few dives", and was flooded. You can see the salt and corrosion that goes all the way down the inside of the barrel.
Hopefully you can see these:
The first one just shows some salt in the second stage, the others show some of the crud and corrosion on the treads and down the barrel. It is hard to see from the pics, but the green corrosion goes all the way to the filter, which is discolored too.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
