Hey all, this is my first post, but I've been a quiet spectator to SB for sometime now. Anyway, my parents were very very generous this past Christmas and got me an Oceanic GT3 CDX5 regulator with an Alpha 7 octo and SPG to go along with it. The trouble is they got it fairly cheap online from an unauthorized dealer, so everything came seperate and I have no warranty card from the manufacturer . I called a LDS which is an Ocean dealer and asked them about assembling everything. They said that without a warranty card they would charge me $75 to attach the octo and SPG to the first stage. Seems a little high to me, personally. I realize that this is life support equipment, but all this is required is a torque wrench and some Christo-Lube or silicone. I got the feeling that the charge is more punitive for not buying from them. (I may just buy the tools and lubricant necessary to do it myself, the regs came with a good owner's manual.)
