i hate to jump in the middle of a war on my 2nd post but... How am i supposed to service my own regs when i cant get parts. I would love to service my own regs, but i dont want to be limited to the one or two regs that actually sell replacement parts. I have a sherwood oasis 2 and a standard usd for my octo and i will be dammed if i can find parts for them. So that leaves me having to use an lds. I know for a fact that i could and would service my regs far better and with greater care than any lds would, but untill you can get parts with ease serviceing your own regs will remain out of reach to me and alot of others.
Some say that you just have to get to know your lds and they might slip you your parts... thats fine and dandy if you have known the people for a long time, and that still does not always work.
So im not trying to flame or anything but how about constructive critisism... if you are going to bring up self serviceing of regs lets us know where we can get parts to make your argument valid.
Or tell us of a better place to get our regs serviced than the lds, and i do mean name places. That way you lend creedance to your argument because you have backed it up with alternatives. (hence constructive critisism)
Hope i didnt step on any toes, just wanted to point out that people might listen more if you give a valid alternative instead of just saying its better this way or that :54:
P.S. i even got vance harlow's reg manual, but its doesent do any good if i cant get the parts... i.e. hp seat, filter..etc... o rings are easy, but those are not nearly all the parts you need :frown2:
