NEW Cyklon valve pistons!!

[rsingler]

At the DEMA service technician seminar last month, the Poseidon rep commented that someone had found a box of 400 old valve pistons in Sweden for the 300 series. They're not manufactured anymore and have been out of stock forever.
I called Salt Blue today and they had five in stock, and I got them all. I have another 15 on back order if Sweden sends any more to the United States.
If anyone has a Cyklon 300 that they used to use for stages, but now has IP creep due to valve piston scarring, I would be happy to service it for you. I'm keeping three for myself, but will be happy to restore two more. Sorry, I can't send these babies out as standalone parts.
If I get my back order, I'll extend this offer until they run out. Once these are gone, that'll be the end of the 300 line. Compact, robust, great regs! Outperformed only by the XStream, the best diaphragm first stage in the world.

Wow, love those regs; they're bulletproof -- started out on one of those; still use it, from time to time, on a bailout bottlle. The damn hose is original; yikes, forty year old rubber . . .

Well, the story must be true:

Five original Cyklon 300 valve pistons just came in the mail.
That's two regs for you guys after I restore my three. And if my back order comes in, there's 15 more venerable Cyklon 300's that can get back into service. I have some service kits for them too. Hooray!

After this discovery is exhausted, it's the end of the line. A few of you have asked, so yes - they're here!

 

[Bigbella]

Woohoo . . .

My fifteen other valve pistons just arrived.
And since nobody seems to want to pay me $30 labor + $35-40 for a 300 service kit + $ 10 for the piston, I'll sell nine of them to those of you that service your own gear. $10 ea + postage.

These are the last Cyklon 300 valve pistons that there will ever be. Get 'em while you can.

@rsingler, is this the 1179 piston or 2820 piston?

@rsingler, is this the 1179 piston or 2820 piston?

same question here. I have two Cyklon300 first stages that seem to currently be holding IP. But maybe a spare piston would be smart.

Is it for this verson? Or the older one?

I'd like to take three if you still have some left.
