Hi I’m new to diving, I recently bought a mk20 regulator second hand only to find out that they were recalled for safety issues, I’ll get it serviced before I use it but I’m worried I’ve waisted my money

Possible problem with Scubapro 1st stage Mk20.
JD, Do a search on the above thread title...Lots of good information from DA Aquamaster and others. If your not aware, DA Aquamaster was one of the contributing Scubapro gurus back in the day. Spend a little time searching under his name with various MK20 topics and most if not all your questions will be answered.
The short answer on whether or not you waisted your money...It depends.
Numerous upgrades / mods were made to the MK20 during it's production run. So depending on what's inside will ultimately determine if it's a keeper or a case of caveat emptor...Good luck

To slightly expand on what other posters have already said, it's often possible to upgrade the Mk20 to a Mk25.
Thus, you've got yourself either a bargain or an expensive paperweight.

I've got one in for service right now - they're just waiting on parts.

Owning many Mk20s and servicing myself I would have zero concerns so concentrate on maintaining waist size
