Aloha Everyone.
I was wondering which regulator came first, the Voit 50 Fathom chrome model, or the Blue painted one?
Aloha Turtleguy
 
If by blue painted you mean the one with the plastic cover, I think they only made that in '61, which was the last year for the 50 Fathom. So the shiny one came first by a couple years.

Nope, not the Blue Plastic one. The Blue Painted Brass one.
I would love to find a Plastic one, but the last one I saw went for over $500, and it was missing internals.
Thanks Turtleguy
