I just don't log dives
I lucked into a matching pair of very lightly used Mk5 Balanced Adjustable regs. I had them serviced and upgraded the guts to current parts (S wing poppet etc). They are holding 145psi and 150psi respectively.

They come with SP consoles - one depth gauge is missing and the other is flooded but the vintage SPGs look great. I would ditch the rubber boots and dive with the original SPG.

Usual signs of wear but all rubber and chrome is in great shape. The hoses are older but seem good, albeit a little stiff. Mouthpieces were trash and i didn't put new ones on as that's a personal choice. I have some generics if needed. I replaced one of the yoke retainers that was a little worn. See pic of the new one.

I am very tempted to keep them as i love the look but i already have a set of these and plenty of other regs so i should to pass them along to a person or people who would will use them.

$250 per set plus $15 for flat rate shipping in the 48.

Service on these costs about $100 labor and $60 in parts (not including the upgrades) so buyer would get regs for less than $100/set.

Them there first stages look like they copying Atomic first stages.

OMMOHY
 
NICE!

[edited to correct 1st stage designation]

You should list them as MK-5 SPEC (they have the small ambient holes to retain packing, but not the retainer band), and the seconds are 109 Adjustable (in original unbalanced configuration), and the balanced adjustable (or as you have upgraded them) was produced under the terminology of 156 Balanced Adjustable...
 
Those first stages are MK5, not MK10.
The second are 109, upgraded to BA. These regs were manufactured around 1979-1980.
I have 4 of them.
Goods regs, but in these conditions I do not think they are worth more than 120-130 USD each. I did buy one NEW with rubber parts in mint conditions for 180 USD... Never been in water...

You could buy on a set on Ebay for $100 and have them serviced, and you will pay more. We will see.....
