Throw away or ?

[binkyk]

Just replaced most of our gear because of age. We have two of the original Aqualung Micron regulators that I’m not sure what to do with. Even though they worked fine, I’m not interested in selling them for reuse since they’re about 30 y.o.
But … is there much use for them. First stage? Or should I just pitch them and forget about it.

There are people here who will have a stroke if anyone even mentions throwing something away. If you’re not using them and you don’t want to sell, you have my permission to pitch. I have no wish to be a hoarder myself.

There are a lot of users of old stuff, offer them to whoever will pay you for shipping, some parts may be used to save someone’s old reg.

You’re enabling hoarding.

If you can still get parts for a reg then they’re not obsolete. Chances are there is nothing wrong with those regs. As long as they spec out when rebuilt then they are pretty much reset to new specs once they are overhauled.
I have Aqualung regs from the 60’s that still work just fine.

I feel that sometimes allowing others who hoard a few parts so they can use the obsolete equipment may help them get over the nostalgia.

I was told that they no longer have rebuild kits for them. That’s why I wasn’t going to sell them, but didn’t know if the rest were of any value.

There are people on SB that get off and thrive on collecting old equipment. I am sure that you will find a loving home for the old regs here.

I believe they are going into the trash.
It took some will power to throw our
old BC’s into the trash.
Oh well …. Now we’ve got new stuff again.

That's inhumane, cruel and unusual punishment for many folks here

Now we’ve got new stuff again

What did you/are you getting?
