??? about quality of reg

[nudvr]

My dive buddy hooked me up with a bunch of gear (lucky me!!), and I was hoping to get some input about the regulator setup. I have a Sherwood Magnum II first and second stage, US Divers octo, and a Dacor dual console with depth guage and pressure guage. I was hoping to get some thoughts on the quality and such. Thanks

How old and How used was this equipment?

I'm too new to this to be an epert but here goes.

I have a friend myself who gave me a Sherwood Classic reg and Sherwood first stage.

Do what I did and have the equipment inspected and repaired if needed.

My donated gear is fine and I'll get to use it as soon as my console arrives and is tested as well.

You should be very happy about you new toys, but first make sure they are in good working order.
1 When was their last service?
2 Sheerood has a very unique dry bleed system, there is a black plug on the 1st stage, with tank pressure there should be a slight bubble stream or bubbles when you spray with soapy water. if not get it serviced!!
3 Finally look at the octo where the hose enters, are there any small or large cracks in the plastic housing??
