Vintage US Divers Royal Mistral Double Hose Regulator

[rneals]

I posted a thread in the regulators for sale section of the forum on this item; but I thought I'd mention it here also to better reach the vintage equipment divers. I'm a bit leery of doing so because I was chastised for even trying to mention an EBay sale item on one of the other vintage gear forum sites. If you might be interested, check out:

Sorry if I have somehow violated some policy about posting.

It does appear that you are using the vintage diving forums not so much about gaining knowledge about your reg, but more as a venue to advertise your sale. You have now hit all three "main-stream" forums and so we all know you have it for sale. Hopefully you will get a big price. By the way, few bid early in a 9 day listings, most bids are sniped in the last few seconds. If you ever get into vintage diving, check back and become part of the communities

I'll apologize again, but I have not claimed that I intend to become part of the vintage diving community. Most of my gear (after 30 years of non-use) could quite possibly have ended up in a dumpster. I had no idea that there was any interest in saving this stuff until a couple of weeks ago. But I don't see why I should be faulted for trying to make sure vintage equipment collectors are aware it is available. I understand the concept of saving old things even when it is financially stupid to do it. I live in an 1887 stone house that has cost nearly as much to restore as it did to buy. I certainly cannot get my money back - it's a bad investment; but that does not mean I regret doing it. Lighten up! I'm not doing this to get rich. I was actually encouraged to list the regulator on EBay by someone in the vintage gear business. It only makes sense to do the most I can to let possibly interested collectors know about it.

OK, off my soapbox. Sorry I tweaked your nose. I just don't understand why some are so sensitive about this.
