Scuba Pro Mark 2? Age?

I was out scouting sales last weekend and picked up some gear.

One of the Items was this reg:


Is it an old Mark 2?

As far as I can tell it has never seen the water.

Thanks,

I have a couple like that one.
The were around in the late 60's and through the 70's. I don't know when did they changed them, but I am guessing early 80's.

Look for it here:

Edit: Because of the size of the yoke and yoke screw, I would place it in the 78-80 years, but it is difficult to tell from the pictures. How many lp and hp ports does it have?

It looks really good, are you going to dive with it?

 

[aikiguy]

It has 1 HP and Two LP. Is there somewhere that lists the number of each on them. I think that it is probably a 1977 or earlier version.... The holes for the environmental side are straight through. It does have 3000 cast into the Yoke fitting.

The thing is in beautiful condition. I Don't think that it has ever been on a tank let alone in the water.

I was thinking of using it for a pony bottle. I could still do that.. However if someone actually collects these things, I don't think you could find a nicer example of one. Almost seems a shame to dive it really.

Ya know the old saying "they dont make em like they used to".....well scubapro is still making some awesome stuff....but that is a solid regulator that you can still have serviced easily. If I were you, id have it checked out by a service tech and use it!

I agree with regtechkidd
It was built to dive, not to sit on a shelf and be admired.
Use it carefully, but use it.

It's a great regulator. Get it serviced and use it.

It's a great regulator. Get it serviced and use it.

Have to agree-----bought a used one last year & have really enjoy it....

If this MK 2 has not been under pressure, chances are it's good to go as the HP seat will not have any ingraving. But if you would like to DIY, see this post for an annotated PDF file with the o-ring sizes that you'll need. http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/5050612-post35.html
