SP is like Aqualung in that there is fantastic support for discontinued products. With the exception of the SP Pilot regulator, I believe that parts are available for nearly all other regulators. A SP shop should have no trouble getting a MkIII / R108 in perfect working order.
The second is not a problem at all, mostly common parts. The first stage uses many of the same parts as the current MK-2 and the orings are common size. No reason at all not to rebuild it and use it as long as the price is right.
Hi Andrew,
Welcome to SB. Those are nice regulators, but as already mentioned $200 each is way too much for those sets even if they have been recently serviced. There are a number of us on SB who not only service our own gear, but have a bad habit of buying, rebuilding, and reselling regulators of that vintage. If you are looking for a nice used set that's already been serviced, or if you think you'd like to DIY ask away in the DIY forum. @halocline @herman @buddhasummer @NotSure @rsingler me @couv and a few others could put something together for you at a more reasonable price. Be forewarned, if you do decide to start DIY you'll find you can never have enough.
BTW where in Texas are you? I'm in Houston.

I've never had an issue with any parts, I've always been able to get what I've needed/wanted, even new parts that have been out of production for decades. It's a big wide world, people have all sorts of stuff laying around. Perseverance is the key.
Having said that almost all parts are relatively easy to get, many are common to current models. Getting the part I want when numerous dealers have said impossible is most satisfying.

This bunch of world wide DIYers helps too.
