It's just a Nick Name guy's, I'm surprised you've never heard it before. It's been around a long time. As I said I respect this reg (2nd Stage), who couldn't, it's coming up for nearly 50 year's in production and still performs up with the new guy's. D.M

We called this one the "Widow Maker"! It's a classic piece of diving history. It deserves to be polished up and put on display. I would not dive it, but I definitely wouldn't sell it. See the width of the mouth piece, this is the original Cyklon, we used to have all the original magazine adds...

Here's one of the post's I said you should search for. I wrote some time back in 2005. "Atx 50 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Great reg, no question, have serviced hundreds of this model. 1st Stage. HP seat is one of the best...

Well. The problem with this question is than almost every one who replies is not qualified to make judgment on what they recommend, it's all just opinion based on what they own. As Bret of Les Pro points out you can read ScubaLab reports, but that’s even worse. A bunch of money based BS tests...

Did you see the guy in Cayman take the reg apart or is that what he said? I have been a certified Atomic tech since 1999 and you cannot put the diaphragm in upside down with out some major hassels. It would be impossible to tune the reg to not free flow. It sounds to me that the most likley...

177 scfm ???? According to who? Scubapro? Try some independent tests, not even close!!! Big IP drop on demand is not what I call "first rate air delivery". Its not a bad reg, it gets the job done very well, just dont over hype its performance, what Scubapro say and what it does in the...

Sorry, but one has a black HP seat and one has a blue HP seat, what did you expect to find out?

Non of the ports on a mk17/16 ARE "HIGH FLOW" this 1st stage does not have any venturi assisted ports. What they mean is that the indicated potrts on the 1st stage are closer to the main valve and, do not have to travel down a bypass within the body to reach the port's. This is not a high...

Figured that was you, C.R. Remember, In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act!!! YOU MOVED CNC AND CHROME TO CHINA YET OR WHAT? See you in Aug. CD

I can't belive how often in this forum we have reg against reg posts and all the time no one ever brings up the issue of quality and reliability! When selecting a reg reliability and long lasting quality should always be a top concern. In this case Oceanic v Apeks we are comparing apples to...

DA Aquamaster, great response, could not have put it any better my self! Dont be fooled by small gimmiky regs a modern balanced 2nd stage is the size it is for good reason and are designed to be neutrally buoyant (well most of them!). Stay away from Oceanic Omega and Zeta's the servo...

Aqualung still sells silicone oil for its old SEA regs, see if you can get a dealer to sell (or order) you a bottle.

ChrisA, The IP used on an LPO and ATX are within +/- range and from what you say (re # dives since service & type of freeflow) on an ATX we would not expect to see any creeping of the IP, the seat used by Apeks is the best out there. (I also assume the LDS didn't set IP over spec) Now its...

For North America Trident has a similar inline tool, doesn't look as good as Bruce's, but its cheep, also fits the smaller Oceanic and old Scubapro oriface slots.

If you need a manual for a Brut, take up golf! P.S. Red 5 gal gas can best for HP seat!!!

The concerns about O2 and ti originaly came from a NASA seminar in the late 90s (may have been 2000, dont remember). They use huge amounts of liquid O2 at insane pressures. As these findings were made public the dive industry had no choice but to protect its self from liability, interestingly...

No winner in this one! Thay all have good points, you could argue all day the pro's and con's and that would just be your opinion. One thing you all missed, There is a clear looser in this pole! The MK16/S550. Very weak HP seat. (I would not buy or recomend this reg) No 2nd stage spring...

Great reg, no question, have serviced hundreds of this model. 1st Stage. HP seat is one of the best in the industy in the hands of an abusive divemaster can last over 1000 dives and not fail. Itermediate pressure will not creep. Chrome is some of the best on the market today. The enviro...

Lost all my old schimatics in hurricane Ivan last year so this is from memory, dont remember what year. The universal yoke nut came about as a change to the MK2 reg allowing one part to fit all then current 1st stages (MK 2/16/18/20). Don't for one minute think it was for safty reasons! Of...
