The metal second stage looks very nice...

looks like a mark V with adjustable 2nd stage (109?) It was my first reg in '78 and I am still diving it today. As to worth, depends on what it costs, but if reasonable I would say yes.

is what im still diving mark 5 r109 second stage,beats the pants off the plastic regs,all parts are still available for it.
selytch:
yours looks like mine, 4 LP and 2 HP
edit: not sure but closer look at your pic shows it may have additional LP port in top, heard that port provides best performance it so.

Buy it, you won't regret it. It is as good or better than anything made today.
If you are interested, this is a nice regulator. The second stage mechanism can also be upgraded, from what I remember, if it is not a balanced second stage. And yes, the top port does provide noticably better performance in deeper water or under higher demand, as the straight thourgh flow reduces turbulence in the LP chamber and line.

$100 seems a bit high but if it is guarranteed to work and guages a good quality with good hoses, it may be worth it. If it has a current service, then it is well worth the $100.

i think you can upgrade the first stage to a mark 10 also,im going to look into that for mine,i dont know how much performance you will gain.
