How many regulators do you own?

[Tortuga68]

Let's see... 9 first stages, and uh 14 seconds. All Apeks

I want one more 1st for my second set of doubles - and should probably sell a couple of seconds

Who wants to swap a black FSR for a couple of ATX40s??

Damn, I think I need another SPG or two...

If you know how many reg sets you have then you don't have enough.

Stole the words right out of my mouth. But I've been selling off some of my fleet keeping only the same brand 1st stage and 2nd stages in order have a more manageable parts inventory.

I have 3 MK10/G250 but could ALWAYS USE more

 

[Eric Sedletzky]

Here's my current list:

Scubapro MK20/G200B
Scubapro MK2/R190
Scubapro MK5/109 BA (mint)
Scubapro MK3/108 (not working)
Aqualung Conshelf VI (not working)
Aqualung DA Aquamaster double hose (mint)
Healthways "Scuba" double hose (working)

Sold on fleabay and also gave away:
A whole box of assorted Dacor stuff.
A sherwood Brut.

When things pick up in spring I'm going on another double hose buying spree and I also need another metal face 2nd stage for my MK5.

You can never have too many regulators.... That is until your wife sees them all at the same time ....

And asks, when did you get all of these???!!!

I've since learned to only have one set out on the kitchen table for servicing at a time....

I have 9 sets (I think that is correct ).

I obiously need more.

Best wishes.

Now that is the truth!

I made that mistake a little while ago and now she's eyeing the mail a little more closely....

Counting the Mk7/Pilot that should arrive this week..... I don't know and I'm not going to risk getting caught counting.

Plus she has one set.

Great, I have seen you are as smart as you sound
But at six seconds you must be getting old as well
It is good to not tell, as white lies love will abound
When the time sands flow what we know goes well

Oh yeah, before the sun comes up and :goingdown:and up again

A couple of first ever locally made single hose rigs
A couple of double hose rigs
A couple of later single hose rigs
A couple of rough water shore rigs
A couple of boat rigs
A couple of deep rigs.
A couple of deep deep rigs
A couple of DIR rigs

Hot and cold flavors

A sidemount harness build in progress <Halemano's sig.
I like Halemano.

It's called the No Pfutzing Swapping Around Second Hand System
testing as you are rinsing reassemble no more touching and then
ready to load and go

Alas, sadly only one spine.
But it's strong.

 

[Zung]

I didn't have that many
Until I found this board
And now I've got plenty
Luckily my closet's broad

I think: 1 MK2, 1 MK5, 3 MK10, 5 MK20, 1 MK25, 5 G250, 1 R190, 1 R290, 1 R295, 2 AIR2, 3 109/BA, 1 M5, 1 AL Supra, 1 AL XL

Poetry? Are we supposed to be doing poetry?

I've had nothing but bad luck with poetry. One Valentines Day my wife was hinting for a Diamond Ring. Wouldn't you know it, I went to the Florist on the 13th and they were too busy to mess with it so I went to the department store and bought a box of the best looking artificial roses I have ever seen. That evening, I decided I probably should also go with a card so I made my own:

Diamonds are forever
Roses can be too
Diamonds are expensive
These roses are for you

Now I hope I have heard the last
Of your griping, complaining and bitching
Because these roses are the best
Silk and plastic and stitching


It was not well received but she is a saint.
But I'm still not going to drag out about 3 dozen regulators and count them.

There is this reg from Nantucket,
With a hose so long you could tuck it.
It may look like heck,
wrapped all around your neck,
But easier for your buddy to pluck it.


When my wife and I first got married, we met a fellow who owned the operation where we were renting a canoe. During the process we mentioned we were newlyweds so this gentleman offered free marital advice. He assured us he knew what he was talking about as he had been married 3 times. I forgot what his advice was, but never-the-less I have some free advice for my SB friends.

Sell some of your lot. When you do, mention it to your better half. Look Dear, I just made $75 on eBay. Look Dear, I just made $125 on eBay selling these old regulators I fixed up. Look Dear....I bought this junk on eBay for $5, rebuilt it and made $70. If she ever discovers your stash...."uh, why yes Dear, you know that's my hobby; buying junk, fixing it up and re-selling it. Why it's more than payed for itself a few times over!"

I've only been married two times so far.
