Can anyone help identify these Mares regs?

[Chip Elliott]

Hi,
I just bought a 'bunch of stuff' today and these regs were in the batch. Can anyone tell me what model they are and are they worth getting serviced? Thank you!

To what end?

 

[Chip Elliott]

To answer my initial question: Are they worth the price of having them serviced/rebuilt?

To answer my initial question: Are they worth the price of having them serviced/rebuilt?

For personal use, resale, or curios (to elucidate my initial question).

Oh! Personal use. I have a good set (Apeks TX50's) and these would be backups or maybe to use on a pony bottle. They are pretty old so I don't see much in the way of selling them.

You're going to have to define "worth" then.

I guess what I looking at is:
1. I have these two older sets of regs
2. I need something for a pony bottle
3. Would it be less expensive to just but another set of Apeks at 299 then to have these serviced/rebuilt.
4. I did hook them up to a tank and they both seemed to "work fine." But I don't trust that.
5. Worth to me would be that if I could spend maybe 60-100 dollars per set and have a basic, decent of regs to use as a backup or to use with a pony bottle, then I would do it.
6. I am also just plain curious as to what they are. All I know is that they are Mares.

Now that's a question.

This possibly what you've got. Help with Regulator Age and ID

Early generation MR12 First/IV Second Stage.

Based on the vintage computer plus I owned that Dacor pressure gauge once I'd guess late 80's/early 90's.

I vaguely remember seeing one hanging on the LDS wall around then.

I think you are right about the Mares in that other thread. I am not sure about the 1st stage though, and that conversation went super technical in a hurry! Thank you!
