I was all set to buy an SR-1 based solely on the glowing magazine reviews. After reading this thread I've decided to go with a different manufacturer.

Hi All, I talked to the guys at Sherwood ...they said that there is a problem with he enviro seal going blewee on about 1% of the regs....they said their stance is to have you LDS send the reg back and you will be without one apparently while yours is being fixed.
KevinDwhite,
Trust me the problem was fixed by replacing the seat in the 1D series, So go a head and get one just make sure the SN starts off with 1D NOT 1C.
I suspect I will still end up taking a punt on the SR1.
Theory being that they have to keep the price low for a while to push the product after the bad publicity, and I am guessing they will have worked pretty bloody hard to correct the fault, lest 30 years of good reputation go down the tubes in a couple of months.
If I win I get a top quality reg at a knockdown price, if I lose, I'll have no one to blame but myself whilst I try to get the problem corrected.
