Scubapro AIR 1

[Fishyhead]

This came with a MK10 I bought and I couldn't believe how nice it is. I've only seen pictures of these so it's a totally different experience holding on in my hands. I kind of want to get it serviced just to try it out to see what all the fuss is about

That’s a beauty! Looks to be in great shape. If you want it expertly serviced, send it to @rsingler. You wont regret it!

Nice. I use these on my pony bottles

I think the AIR1 is well worth diving, one of my favorites. Hope you get a chance to dive it and let us know how you like it.

Have you connected it to a tank to try, just to see how it breathes and if it leaks or not? Sometimes they are in good condition even after sitting for years, but of course service before diving.

@Kupu it freeflowed when I hooked it up unfortunately.

You can take the chrome cap on top of the reg off (with a pin spanner), unscrew the black cup (that mates to the spring) underneath chrome cap off, push the little black plastic plug out of the chrome cap, screw the underneath cup back on, put the chrome cap back on the reg, then adjust the spring tension with a 3/32” Allen wrench clockwise through the little hole where the black plastic plug was (with reg pressurized) until the leak stops. If the Allen key spins to the point that it loses tension (the black underneath cap has fallen off), you need a new poppet.

The little rubber nipple in the middle of the chrome cap is keeping my Scubapro tool from fully seating on the cap so it's popping off under tension, scratching the cap in the process. I'll need to try with a different tool so I don't mess it up any further.

Just pull that nipple out and put the Allen in the hole to tighten the spring

These work well

I guess you can use pliers to pull it out as well.
