    sorry if this post has been done before... and sorry if i've got the nomenclature wrong...

    i've got a couple of apex atx '50's', 300 bar din in perfect condition and am wondering if i should sell them, use them as stage regs or...

    so opinions on these? thanks in advance for the advice.

    The ATX50 is a wonderful second stage. Very easy to DIY service.
    From what I read, people really like the DST and DS4 first stages (don't know which one you have).

    Some Apeks reg owners have sold 'em and replaced them with the affordable HOG brand regs which seem to be very similar in design and performance. Something else to consider is that the HOG manufacturer makes its reg service kits available for sale to the public (something Apeks doesn't do). This only really matters if you don't keep to the manufacturer-specified service interval for the Apeks regs (overhaul every 2 years, inspection on in-between years).

    I'd recommend keeping 'em, though.
    If you plan on selling the setup, let me know. I'm local, and I'd be interested in making the purchase.

    Ear Equalization problems? Check out Dr. Kay's Ear Lecture for Divers.

    What would you do? ScubaBoard has a "What if...?" series geared for beginner divers.

    You should sell them....very cheap....to me

    They are a great reg and perfect for stages. If you need to put together stages, you can't go wrong with what you have.

    They will make good stage seconds as they already come o2 clean from the factory.

    They are horrible regulators that will kill you.

    You need to get rid of them quickly. I will help you as they require a very long process to properly dispose of, just mail them to me and I will take care of the details.
    Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.
