Hello. I recently gave my father-in-law one of our Sporasub Matrix regulators to get him started in scuba and wanted to get it serviced for him. I had not had a problem getting it serviced in the past at our local Mares shop, as the owner was quite knowledgeable and readily recognized that it was basically a V16 with the plastic sheath removed and serviced it regularly and never reported a problem getting parts.
When I took the regulator in to another store to get it serviced as this individual had sold his store and moved away, the new store told me that the regulator was not supported and they couldn't get parts for it. Although I told him it was a Mares regulator, he seemed unfamiliar with the brand.
Can one of the Mares folks tell me if service kits are still available for this regulator? How about the Alto Plus which is based on the MR12? Or is it time to shuffle these off to ebay and get him something new.
