Recently purchased an OMS H-valve on ebay.
The seller said it was brand new. After several dives I notice a small weld on the inside DIN hole backing and a circular crack directly above the weld on the exterior. I know, no more ebay for this type of critical equipment. But has anyone ever refurbished an OMS valve? How is it that the crack from the weld has been chromed smooth? How could a hole have developed in the top of this hunk of brass? Is there a potential for the weld to leak? If the seller rips me off, what options do I have? Can the serial number get me anywhere with OMS? Any advice or comments appreciated and thank you.
