the ness kits are the most readily available as aqualung/apeks doesn't openly sell service kits to individual divers in the US
Subaquatic Service Kit #A1 - Fits Most Apeks First Stages
other option is to get them imported from the EU or Asia if you want official kits. they pop up on ebay sometimes, but not that often.
VDH has the 2nd stage kits also for zeagle iirc that i think may fit, but the store is down atm.
main thing is getting the spanners for the environmental seal and the yoke nut if you have yoke regs, most of the other tools are pretty common like hex keys and a torque wrench.
the tech 50d should need no conversion kit or anything really. the only difference with the tx50 is some may not come with the cold water 2nd stage heatsink spacer on the lp hose attachment. if you do ice diving, you can look into sourcing it from europe. I looked into it and did not find any suitable chromed brass replacement spacers a year or two back.

@runsongas you could also try reaching out to @buddhasummer as he generally has access to Apeks kits (among others) and is willing to share his resources.
I will be starting to service my own gear as well as he has been very helpful. If you search the posts you will find out he is well regarded.
Good luck!

I can get new stock Apeks OEM service kits. Feel free to message me if you have no joy elsewhere.
