Signs you may be a regaholic

You have to start somewhere, in pieces or any condition never was I happier than when I swapped to compressors

Wait that’s an option now, to collect compressors? Talk about different leagues

Applies equally to guns, regs, tanks, radios, tools, etc...

Um, well, yes I DO have four torque wrenches - why do you ask?

That drawer of screwdrivers? Yeah, those are the assorted straight and phillips. The assorted torx and hex drivers are in the drawer below, the jeweler's and stubbies are in the drawer above.

The good sets are in the machinist cabinet. There's another decent set on the bench. Plus a couple more over by the press, three next to the vice, couple upstairs in my office, couple more in the truck, and probably a couple more in the tool drawer in the kitchen.

Hammers? Yeah, they're in that drawer. And in the truck. And in the kitchen tool drawer. And in the shed.

What was your question?

Oh great, now I’m screwed!
Somebody had to mention compressors.
Why don’t we just talk about boats then so we can all go broke?!!
I’m still trying to get over collecting vintage gear and tanks.
At least I’m not as bad as my Swedish uncle (on my mother’s side), he had a Volvo fetish. His wife would come home and there’d be five brand new Volvo’s in the driveway.

I’m sure they love him over at Mölndal.

Four divers in family, 12 regulators. Most of the time we just use same set of 4 regs. I keep another couple for SM rigs, the rest I should probably donate to someone who will actually dive them and enjoy- no point in having them run dry.

Let’s see.
1. Decide what gear you absolutely have to have.
2. Scour the internet to find it.
3. Once found, strike a deal.
4. Obtain gear in mail or in person.
6. Fanatic over the restoration/rebuild
7. Brag about your find on scubaboard.
8. Use the gear.

What are the other four steps?

Perhaps we should form a Regulators Anonymous and hold Zoom meetings wherein we must admit to being a regaholic. My fear is though that it would simply encourage reg-envy and further reg-hording.
