Are the 109s worth rebuilding?

The 109s are nice.

Good score.

A before and after video would be super cool if you have the time to put one together. Those look like very nice regs.

I would take those 109s for you. I'm local too. I would likely rebuild them, update them too balanced components. If successful i will give one back to you to use in style.

I'm all for that. Are you back to diving yet? I'll be at saltwater and Redondo Tuesday.

Of course my opinion, horse collar is trash even if someone wants it

109’s are easy and worth it to update to BA, the most usable part of the mk7 is the piston which can be used in the MK 5 if memory serves.

What kit parts can be us

Almost. I will do a couple of boat dives in early January. I am going to try that before attempting a shore dive. Really all that is left to heal is my confidence in the ankle to support the weight and shore entrance.

The parts needed is a mix of G200 kit & G250 spring and poppet.

@davehicks we'll be doing a pair of shore dives and scooting the sites with lunch between. Are you near Des Moines or available that day?

I've used that exact second stage for the last several years to depths past recreational. The first stage is kinda obsolete and ridiculously heavy, but the second stages are good.

My max depth for now is 150. I'm planning a few more to there in the coming months and one to 165 this summer. If the 109 can be salvaged I'll give it a go and see which one I like better.

The Horse Collar looks like one of the old big ones. The kind I used was narrower across the front. I still use an upgraded Seaquest Horse Collar for SCUBA or Snorkeling.
