I have had regulators before that have looked a lot worse than that prior to going for servicing. Especially the one I used when I first started diving and had serviced on a yearly basis.
Speaking today to a few of the old salts, that have been diving for 30 years was interesting. They say that most rental regulators look a lot worse before being serviced, and that a high percentage of divers have regs that look similar. They also believe that it is impossible for a small amount of water not to get into a reg.
I have removed the filter and all hoses. There is no sign of corrosion anywhere else on the hose connectors or in the reg as I can see. Admittedly I can only look through the ports and inlet.
Guess I will use and service when due, or any performance issue is noted. Thanks for the replies and insight.

Just an update. I have removed the filter. A bit tricky with the circlip. The other side of the filter is corrosion free, so there is no water in the reg. I will do the vinegar soak for a day and see the results.
