Here it is:
According to what I was told elsewhere on this site anything with Dacor should be avoided. I was given the reg set for free so I guess I can't really complain.

Perfect.
That particular Dacor is a Mares MR12 (they were the same company for a wilse).
You can either use the Mares kit or, more economically, the AquaLung kit mentioned earlier is a direct fit.

turns out you were looking for AL parts.

Wow, that's great to hear. Thanks guys! Because I know nothing about this first stage, would it be fine to use in cold water?
Probably good for 40's but once in the 30's you really want an environmentally sealed 1st stage.
What 2nd stage do you have?
What 2nd stage do you have?

It never ceases to amaze the amount of BS some dive stores talk. Unfortunately for those new to diving the BS is often swallowed and ends up costing a small fortune. Fortunately SB is here to speak the truth. Unfortunately not everyone knows about it.
Glad it all worked out, it usually does, the Titan is a good reg.

Can environmental kits be retro fitted to that 1st stage?

Just a guess but since it's a MR-12 clone...or maybe more correctly a rebranded MR-12, odds are a MR-12 dry kit would fit. Considering the cost of the kit, I am not sure it would be worth the expence. In the long run it would be easier and likely less exensive to sell the stage and find an AL model that already had one, not to mention the service issues with the Dacor.

It's an Aqualung Titan.

The Mares MR12 and Dacor Eagle Sport regs are EXACTLY the same spare some re branding so why couldn't I just take it to a shop and get it serviced with MR12 parts?
I found a cold water kit on ebay for $40.

I called my LDS about ordering Aqualung Titan parts. I was told that the cost for overhaul of the 1st and 2nd stages, and octo are $80-$90 each and because there's no warranty I would have to do this EVERY year. Maybe getting a new reg would make better sense. Is there usually a free parts warranty?
