Just for the gobble gobbles- Guess the reg(s) I’m restoring

[Mobulai]

While things dry off before approaching assembly, and I gather the will power to continue this (in a way scary) project (as a noob)..
Can you guessed what 2nd stage(s) I’m rebuilding here?
I’m trying to take advantage of the induced slowness; otherwise it shouldn’t be that hard (since I learned about that stuff over here, so at least the “usual suspects” would need but a minute)

See how many spoilers/hints you’ll take to get it right, last one is the answer


Hints:

- it’s Scubapro
- end balanced barrel obv. (ignore the extra stuff at the edges: the vintage mk2, and other scary partial 2nd stage)
- they’re gonna be frankenregs

——

- they’re are notoriously annoying to tune
- I have no idea how I’ll be able to tune them

——-

- newer simpler variants still exist in the SP lineup

——-

- had an awesome feature that died feom SP lineup right after their debut

This is just my (bored/convoluted) way of sharing a day in the life and saying this after 11 months registered here (and a few years lurkingg:
Thanks to everyone on this awesome board, I’ve learned so much already (and have much more to learn still); and so many of you have been extremely helpful and patient with my noob-ass questions, and even supporting me with awesome goodies and toys, couldn’t have gotten from absolute noob to “not a lost case” noob without the collective wisdom and communal sense that thrives around here

Y’all are awesome and I’m thankful to have you in my life/hobby

I love you all without have met you, I hope y’all are doing well today

Much more than I bargained for but very reassuring— I am mainly worried about difficulty inserting it (old poppet onto new lever) could devolve into bad engagement/ the lever going flat, closing shut and being lethal
Thanks Wiz for the in depth bulletins — would for sure be helpful along the way of the experiments

Excellent video !

It’s useful for assembling most other balanced second stages too.

Thank you for sharing !
