I went digging through my 20+ year old scuba boxes over the weekend to refresh my memory on what I have.
Turns out I have several old rebuild kits...I think one for each name brand kits for my US Diver's SEA 1st and my Micra 2nd....and several other generic after market kits. An even one for my old Sherwood pony tank reg. I still have that reg too, but I remember the piston cylinder was wrecked by corrosion....
Anyway, would you use 20-25 year old kits? They've been in storage, in a Florida garage. Inspect for pliability and cracking and use if they look ok?.... or would you pretty much toss all the elastomer parts?
