Was given a Scubapro MK10 and G250

[Hitagain]

I just completed my open water cert and my wifes uncle gave me one of his old regulators. It is a Scubapro MK10 and G250. He doesn't remember the last time he used it, Is it worth getting it checked out and rebuilt?

Yes, it definitely is. And if the shop that you take it to tries to tell you otherwise, find a new shop.

 

[DerekR]

No, you need to send them to me ASAP! Seriously, that is a marvelous combination that breathes buttery smooth, when tuned correctly. It's also a very easy combination to service at home.

One of best reg sets made. Worth a rebuild. I now have about 8 sets of these I prefer over any newer scubapro rugs I have.

The mk10 and G250 is regarded by many as one of the best regulators made. If you're interested in servicing them yourself, it's pretty easy. If not, I'd recommend sending it to Vintage Double Hose. @OWIC647 does a great job and he has everything needed to get it up and running again!

I'll echo what the others have said. The G250 is one, if not, my favorite second stage and I've owned various current "flagship" regs.

if you don't want to DIY, I would also recommend sending them to @OWIC647 at Vintage Double Hose to get them sorted out

No, it's a terrible obsolete regulator that most divers wouldn't even use in the bath tub.

JK, you're not going to do any better in terms of performance and reliability.

You need to buy that man a beer.

All but one of my reg sets are Mk10/G250s. Count yourself as blessed.
