Can anybody tell me why I'm excited about this random pile of regs I got today?.... I didn't even notice until I was driving home with it and noticed something was odd...

you got a SAM 2, huh?
Farallon's ingenuous idea of how to line the inside of you LP hose with mold and mildew. Plus, the charcoal filter would age and break up, plugging your second stage. But they were cool.Indeed! I need to look more into that piece. I'm not very familiar with it.
humidifier, from the late 70's. Farallon S.A.M. (Scuba Air Moisturizer).Is that sort of cylindrical add on a filter, or an humidifier?
The filter was useless, the humidifier instead was really great.
Better used with aerosol-grade pbysiological solution.
Basically the forefather of an Apollo bio-filter I take it. I pulled it apart today. Cool design.Farallon's ingenuous idea of how to line the inside of you LP hose with mold and mildew. Plus, the charcoal filter would age and break up, plugging your second stage. But they were cool.
This one will also be getting a full update with s-wing poppet, etc. I'll probably swap the BA cover from the 156 I just picked up over to the 129 and pair it on my sealed din MK10 / 156 combo.I also own a 129 (of course converted to BA). Great for side mounting, or back mounted twin tanks. It makes it impossible to confuse the left and right regs.

This will result in one of the best regulator set ever built.This one will also be getting a full update with s-wing poppet, etc. I'll probably swap the BA cover from the 156 I just picked up over to the 129 and pair it on my sealed din MK10 / 156 combo.
