Anyone know who makes these?

Just found these on ebay and was curious if anyone knows who the actual manufacturer is.

They are generic regs made in Taiwan. I can not remember the mfg but they make regs for several companies under their house brands.

Interesting- a 1st stage for $50, if they're worth a crap...

They also claim to be "made in italy"

.....have been sold by Cochran and Abysmal and quite a few others.
Perfectly fine 1st stage.

 

[scubapeter]

also sold as the oms r-250 and the coltri sub.... they are sometimes seen with a bright or a matte chrome finish. they are functional regs.

Check out this thread for some more info. It also links to the original thread (I think)

This shop is local to me and I've been using this first stage along with some "generic" adjustable seconds I bought at the same time as my recreational set-up and they've performed very well for three years now (approx. 350 dives).

She also sold me rebuild kits for both the firsts and seconds but I haven't touched them yet. I tuned down the first stage to an IP of 128-130 and check it every few months, it's been rock solid.
