I tried to order an overhaul kit for my spare regulator (an old Conshelf 20) yesterday. But apparently (according to the Aqualung sales rep) parts are available for the 1st stage, but not the 2nd, and I should "get a new reg because it can't be fixed".
So... Is this really true? Should I just dive it until it finally dies and then throw it out? Or are there equivalent parts out there that I could substitute? Although I haven't looked much at other Conshelf models, I'd be surprised if they were all that different.
The reg still works great, and I have no plans on retiring it, especially since it's a spare and I don't use it for anything particularly demanding.
