As you can see I have 2 primaries, one with 3 hoses and the other with 4...the 2 hose one says "service at 3000 psi" and the 4 hose one says "service at 4000 psi">>dont know what this means? what's better? Also the holes where the hoses connect are bigger on the 3 hole one (maybe 3/8 vs. 1/4 or something like that)...

I have 2 consoles, 1 with an old datamax sport computer (non-replaceable battery-its dead-what now?). I also have some extra depth gauges so maybe I can just bail on the comp and pop when in-- go analog for both sets...?

1 reg says "octopus" the other "aquarius"

1 reg says "mark XIV" the other "SE"
>>I've heard these regs are good, I'm trying to take both sets and sort them into 1 GOOD one set (with the best pieces) and a backup with the less desireable ones...

Ok, sorry might be kinda daunting, but I really could use some insight here.
One scuba shop told me: "That stuff is old, even if we work on it, it will be safe BUT uncomfortable (hard-breathing). You'd be better off if you stepped this way and bought all this new stuff...blah blah blah..."
I'm in college at UCSB, have no money, and want to go catch some lobsters in the kelp beds, I can't afford new stuff, and according to some searches on this board...this stuff doesn't seem all too bad?
thanks for the help guys, loving this place already...
