Ever hear of this regulator?

[DiverAnderson]

Someone offered to sell me a "US Divers Conshelf lV Extreme military/professional scuba diving regulator" new and in box for $150. I haven't seen it yet but is this reg worth owning? I tried to research it on the web but got nothing. Any info about this regulator or regs like it is much appreciated.

But is that the one on Craigslist?

The very one, in fact. Hey I just noticed you are in SF! How cool. My GF needs a reg and I was thinking of picking this up for her. She'd like the proton ice but maybe I'll trade her my girly Mares reg for it. What do you say, looks like a good deal or no?

I looked into it because it was so cheap - figured it might be stolen or something Had no need for it so I didn't try too hard, couldn't find much out either.

There is a guy with a new in the box ATX200 with backup (guessing an ATX40 or something) for $350 as well - now that's a good deal. Lot more $$$ though.

You mean XIV, not IV. A workhorse regulator, all brass second stage, and the Conshelf 1st design has been around forever. The Conshelf and Titan 1sts are pretty much the same, with same internal parts. The military version uses a different seat, but they are interchangeable. $150 seems cheap. I'd buy it.

Conshelf regs are simple, reliable and "bulletproof." My Conshelf XI is over thirty years old and works like a champ.
