Sherwood SR1 regulator

[whodunit68]

This is a beautifully breathing regulator. It is just back from Sherwood and they've got it working in tip-top shape. It has not been used since I've received it back. Sherwood says this reg was a "SCUBA DIVING MAGAZINE - TOP PICK FOR 2008." More info on Welcome to Sherwood Scuba!. Even now, the discounted price for a NEW one is $610. This regulator is about 7 months young and I'm parting with it for $375. The Sherwood standard octopus goes for about $128 new and I'll include it for $50 more (that's 61% off the new price). You pay the shipping of about $12 to the United States and I'll cover paypal, insurance, and delivery confirmation.
Anywhere outside the United States is different. See photos on Picasa Web Albums - Steve - Scuba Stuff f.... Contact me with any questions.

What's the history of the reg? I know you said 7 months old, but you mentioned it just came back from Sherwood. Was there an issue with the reg?
Also....I didn't see any pics of a sherwood reg on your page. Did I miss them?
Thanks for the info,
Rich

hey Rich....good question...so the SR1s had a history of seals popping. It wasn't an issue affecting functionality. The dive shop I brought it to wasn't sure if mine fit into that and they called Sherwood with the serial number. For safety, it went back to Sherwood. They also replaced a high pressure seat (so that's brand new, I'm told).
I'll check the photos - thanks for pointing it out. I hope it's there (you'll know as I'll be right back to post it) as my camera is out to SeaLife for service (seems like my month of sending gear in!).
If not, I'll get a camera this weekend and get some photos up.
Thanks,
Steve

please revisit - there are some photos there now.
should be at the bottom. let me know of any questions. This is a DIN regulator, fyi. Also, my SR1 never had a seal pop, it was a precautionary move.

by the way, this is ONLY the environmental seal, not any other seal. And again, I was told mine was just fine and was a post-issue released regulator.
