Not my listing, but its out of Calif, looks to be a Phoenix (type) upgrade but the seller doesn't realize it. Anyone out there have one stolen?

Ebay RAM

I just won a RM (my 1st DH) a couple of day ago (not RAM), but I’m ready to double up on this baby
(Unless someone claims it Stolen; btw the SN is visable: 125108)

Well that escalated pretty quick

Went for $1210. !

Here I was optimistic of winning this thing — better off buying an AK

I already had given up at the 806$ mark

Very few options for a DH regulator with standard HP/LP ports.
Would be nice to know if this reg also had the upgraded demand valve.
The Phoenix is a marvel of design and build. I was lucky to get mine, along with the HPR and DSV from Brian during the DH resurrection years. I also had a Kraken, but sold it, preferring to keep shiny
hotrod AquaMaster.

If you're counting second stages, there's a Conshelf SE2 hiding there somewhere.

I've had a lot of fun diving the early stuff.

Looks like I sold my PRAM way too cheap! It was a few years back.

I stumbled across a Phoenix on Marketplace maybe about 10 years ago. A guy was selling a few DH regs and I made him an offer on 3 or 4 of them. He did not know much about the regs, and he told me he was selling his fathers-in-law equipment as he had passed away. When I went by to pick them up, he told me he had found another reg he would let me have for a hundred bucks. It was a super shiny RAM. I did not closely examine it as it was so clean. When I got it home much to my surprise, I noticed it was a Phoenix. I had previously purchased a Phoenix nozzle from Bryan Pennington a few months prior but had not gotten around to installing it and just dove the one I had bought. I need to dig the nozzle out from wherever I put it in a reg and sell it on Ebay at that price! As I recall, I think the nozzles were selling for $200 or $250 back then. He had and old compressor he was getting rid of as well, but I passed on it. I kick myself got that now!
