Is it a faithful wife or a sexy vixon?

Can't it be both?

I'm sure you remember the MK10/G250 24K gold beauty that came out in 1991.

I wonder how much that reg. is worth today?

Only as much as someone is willing to pay for it.

I'd give $60 if it is serviceable. But, with the exception of pilots, $30 per stage is about what I expect to pay for a good, use regulator.

I been messing with the purge lock and I still cant get it to happen. Do all G250's do this?

Nope, actually none of mine have it, but my R190s do.

A lot less than it cost new. Scuba gear is not an investment, it depreciates rapidly. Beav, do you ever say anything that doesn't have some sort of sales pitch included?

You can't be right about that, because I heard gold is doing really well and this awesome investment reg has 24K GOLD on it!

Beav, can I maybe invest in an ETF or other fractional ownership scheme for such a reg? Seems risky and expensive to buy it outright and then store it myself...I only have a lowly gear locker, and not a proper investment gear vault.

My G250vs can do it, as can my G250 Crystals, (which I think came out in the mid-late 1990s?).

I have a pair of G250s from about 1991 or so, the age of which I can only guess on, since they have the teeny-weeny venturi switch and one has a teal diaphragm and button and one has a red diaphragm and button, and the red and teal colors were early 1990s. Anyhow, they cannot do it.

So I'll deduce that somewhere between 1993 (when the colored diaphragms were discontinued), and the Crystal model, (1996-97?) they got the lock feature.

False!

Limited production regs. ,in mint condition, are collector's items. They are worth much more.

At the recent dive trade show, Scubapro had a very impressive reg. collection from Scubapro's 50 year history.

I overheard someone say it was the hit of the show!

For fun, why don't you PM SCUBAPROHARRY and ask him what your mint condition Gold-plated MK10/G250 is worth.

I have witnessed our Scubapro Rep., who is also a collector, pay big bucks for a rare reg. ( Please don't tell his wife )

The thing is you need to keep it in mint or very very good condition a used reg in so so condition isn't going to be worth much unless someone significant owned it or is super rare. Which brings back the question, of why pay more for something in the hope that it's actually going to be worth something later and you need to baby it...?

Because you are a very rare person, a collector of regs.
