For Sale Apeks Regulator Set

[UFDIver123]

I'm selling my 1st and 2nd stage regulator. The primary regulator is an Apeks and the backup regulator is made by Aqualung. The guage is from Suunto and a Zoop computer is attached. The set is about 6 years old and has been used for about 50-60 dives. I had it serviced about about 2-3 years ago. There is also a wireless transmitter on the first stage regulator that is busted and will need to be removed. I'm asking for $450, but willing to negotiate. That will include shipping. Message me any questions or inquiries.

Thanks!

If you look close at the photo, it looks like there is a crack and a bend in the metal edge where the plastic cap seals to the base. I can't begin to imagine how that would happen, nor what other related damage might exist.
The recall changed an interior part, changed the plastic cap, and added a flow restrictor inserted into the HP inlet of the transmitter.

I was putting the regulator on the tank before a dive about a month ago and when I opened the tank the transmitter blew. When I took it into a local shop, I was told something in the transmitter malfunctioned. I was told I missed the recall period and there was nothing that could be done about it except detach the transmitter.

From the conversations I have had, that sounds like a description of the exact reason for the recall. It was actually a CPSC recall affecting EVERY transmitter they made, and not a simple manufacturer service update or something offered only to the original owner with a receipt. I doubt that the window of opportunity has closed on a remedy, but I could be wrong. (The period required for posting notice in the shop may have passed though)
Unless it is more trouble for you than it is worth, I suggest you contact Suunto or a full service center for info, contact info at this link. I think the recall action even covers your cost of shipping, so zero out of pocket for you.

Recall window is not over. I bought a computer with two transmitters and only one was fixed. This was about 3 months ago. I contacted Suunto (call they did not answer any of my emails) and they sent me a prepaid label. I got the transmitter back about 3 weeks later.

Fixed transmitters will have a white circle printed on the case.

Thanks everyone for the advice. This contradicts what I was told by the dive shop I went to. I will be calling Suunto myself.
