Correct.

Thanks

Mine is also a DGX

The digital one?

Digital is a waste of money. Not needed and if the battery dies the checker doesn't work. Simple mechanical gauge is fine.

Another DGX analog pressure gauge user here.

+1 for the cap.

I agree with Jim that for a pressure checker the digital is a waste of money. I use digital on my compressor and on my mixing whip but it is not needed on a pressure checker.

Analog. You want solid simplicity.

Given the cost of scuba gear, the cost of these is a drop in the bucket. I bought one ages ago that I still use. It’s probably 15 years old. No clue what brand.

I've had this from '62, but is limited to LP tanks due to the thin yoke and gauge.

Picked up an oil filled gauge to put on a defective checker I bought in a pile of other gear.

So more around $100 I assume?

So it is very simple to screw on a loose gauge head to the unit. Good to know. Mind me asking where you bought it? Flea market?

DGX unit for $48, cap for $6 and, if you need a yolk adapter, $25. So $80. That will probably get you to free shipping. If it’s a bit more, get a couple of bolt snaps. Can never have too many.
