As an aside, I've started using the plastic orifice in the G250, well mine anyway, less than half the price of a metal one, won't corrode, let's see how well it holds up. Given SP use them in their TOTL regs I assume must be ok. Time will tell, assuming I keep it long enough for time to tell

I do recall seeing a couple in some late production BAs I once owned.
I’m not sure when SP came out with plastic orifice but this 156 came with one.As an aside, I've started using the plastic orifice in the G250, well mine anyway, less than half the price of a metal one, won't corrode, let's see how well it holds up.

As far as I know only the G260 currently uses metal orifice. Experts?

I do like the price.

@buddhasummer, how is it going?
It is remarkable that a regulator design that dates from the late 60s is still state of the art and lives on as the G260 and that I can swap working parts and service kits between them.
Scubapro had to deliberatly clock the lugs on the G260 air barrel so that "certain" people would not convert their G250V regs to G260 specs. I mean, like, you think a company needs to sell a few products to stay in business, geeez.
And I was asked recently if I really think Scubapro is the best! Seriously! Is this even a question? And you know what, another 40 years from now, my bet is still on Scubapro.
