Yesterday I did my first two dives with my Spectrum FFM, which came as a package with a Zenith HOG regulator. The reg came already mounted to the mask and the hose, which had a band around it for the inspection information. I've never seen that before, but it looks like a regulator's version of...

$200 to your door. That's $100 off brand new gear.

$225 shipped, obo.

Mirage 23/38lb Wing Dive Right In house brand wing, which is convertable between 23lb and 38lb by changing the cover. I won this from on online contest, and I've only opened the box to look at it. It's still wrapped in plastic, never been wet, never been mounted to a backplate, only handled...

I searched on SB and found lots of references to Rochester catheters, and the ability to request free samples, but all of those posts are 6+ years old. In the interim it seems that Rochester was sold to Bard medical, and from there the only free samples are from their sub-company Liberty...

Therein lies my problem. My LDS has a very good rep around my area, and Randy has a good rep on SB, and so far my experience agrees. So here I am kind of jammed in the middle. I'm "concerned" about the lack of parts, or published materials for that matter, but the issue that exploded was...

Wrong valve. This is the crazy thing in question

I agree - here is the quote from the email Randy sent me regarding a conversation he had with the LDS before I even knew there was a problem (LDS contacted him): "...I told him not to take it apart since the disks are a special size that is not available yet." At the moment I'm not delving...

I'll double check the number when I go pick it up today, but I have no illusions about not putting in a disk once it's been removed - that point has been hammered home in every thread I've read before starting this one. Fortunately, when I left the LDS last night they hadn't removed it - I hope...

Without adversity, how can you appreciate victory?

To be fair, I think it said 4250. It might be 4500, or 4200. Most definitely more than 4000 and less than 5000. I'd only had the thing for 20 minutes before the LDS got it, so I'm probably off. Either way, it seems general consensus is that it's the burst pressure, it's safe, and LDS is making a...

And now I've heard of one :) Yeah, I'm starting to lean that way. They've been around for a long time and are really popular, but I'm starting to uncover some issues with their technical knowledge that make me lean away for anything but mundane stuff. The problem here is that it's some wacky...

I bought a new valve/reg from Piranha, and it has a burst disk in it with the simple marking of "4250". The LDS has it right now because I brought in my pony for hydro last week - last night while I was there for something else, the owner pulled me in the back because of an "issue" with the...

DIBS

I can paypal right now, if everyone else falls through.

I have a valve/reg like this, and the adapter he's talking about will let you fill it yourself from another tank, like a transfill whip. The adapter is also the only way to fill it, as the valve doesn't have a yoke or DIN port for a compressor, although there are other adapters for "fill...

Yup, planned on it, but good reminder nonetheless. Better than turning into the Michelin man at 90ft.

Sounds like it might be more trouble than it's worth to save $80 on a drysuit reg. Thanks for the information!
