Well, since I want to start mixing my own gases, I figured it was about stinkin' time I had my own analyzer.

So I ordered the kit from Oxycheque. 4 days later it arrived. I spread it all out on the workbench and got to work. What took the longest was cutting out and cleaning up the holes in the case. A dremel tool and a file helped with that. The soldering was pretty straightforward with the enclosed instructions telling in words and pictures where everything needs to be attached.

Finished it. Installed a battery. Turned it on. WooHoo!! It turns on!! OK - I calibrated it with air from an SCBA bottle - 20.9%, then checked it on an O2 bottle - 100.1%. Close enough for me :D

Next project - find all the parts n pieces to make the fill whips - I've been all over this little city without success - so it's off to the internet.

he is away at a show until monday, then will be off to BTS on friday..

The kit you are talking about is the el-cheapo

he sells alot of them.... He also has ready to use units as well
 
Thats a good kit and Patrick is more than helpful if you have any problems. I have built two, one for myself and one for my buddy.

For a mixing wip I got the wip with din conectors on each end from North East Scuba supply, and the din to 1/8 npt adapter.
The rest came from the local welding shop.
 
I built my El Cheapo II last night and went to my LDS to test it since I did not have any tanks with nitrox at home. On a tank that read at 34.2 on the shop's Analox analyzer, mine read 34.5. 2 hours with the dremel and a soldering iron.
 
I had mine for close to two years never gave me no trouble great kits !!!!!!!!!!!
of course hears made some up grades but just better LCD veiwer
