Equipment advice

Thumper is being a little unfair to Dacor.

What he means is that OLDER DACOR REGS ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO SERVICE.

After Dacor were taken over by Mares all the old Dacor regs and service packs were discontinued.

This is because when Sam Davison (DAvison CORporation) died that company went (or almost went) bust. Mares basically bought the Dacor name

I think this transition was very badly handled with the result that a lot of Dacor owners are not very happy with the service they have received.

The current line up:
Dacor Eagle
Dacor Viper
Dacor Fury (about to be discontinued I believe)
are all easy to get parts for.

I have a Dacor Eagle Pro DPD with Eagle Octopus that I am very happy with.

I haven't seen mention of you buying a reg yet,b ut I was thinking that you should check out Atomic regs. The Z1 is an excellent breather, especially considering the $399 list price. I have a Scuba Pro MK25 S600 and I think the Z1 breaths as well. I will more than likely pick up and Atomic reg in the future. Also, if you are not happy with what is avaible at the shops in Columbus, come on down to Cincinnati...there are several great shops here.
