Yesterday, I was given an old Scuba Pro MK7 with a pair of R109 secondaries. It all appears functional, but the MK7 really doesn't look like a very practical piece of equipment, (very heavy with strange and limited hose attachment options). The R109 secondaries on the other hand are supposed to be great regulators, and I think I will put them to use.
They're kind of banged up though. Functional, but the chrome finish is just scratched up everywhere. So, I could just dive them the way they are, have them rechromed, or since they are made of brass and I do have a buffer, I'm thinking I could just strip off the chrome and polish them up. I'm sure that they would start out looking great, but I'm wondering about down the road and of course I would have to wipe them down after every use.
Anyone else have any experience with this? Good idea or bad?
