All, Having just paid about $175 to have my and my wife's regulators overhauled (Free parts, what a deal.), I'm looking for an alternative. I'm considering purchasing the "Scuba Regulator Maintenance and Repair" book by Vance Harlow and learning to do it myself. Probably the biggest catch that I can see will be getting the parts. Unfortunately, I don't dive nearly as much as many (most) people on this list and becoming known well enough by the shops to get parts from them would be difficult. Any suggestions? I wouldn't mind spending a little money to take some sort of regulator maintenance class if that would make them more likely to see me parts. But I don't want to spend $150 or so to learn how to rinse my regulator after dives, nor do I want to spend $1000 to become a certified Scubapro technician. (Or whatever that might cost.) Also, what kind of work is involved. i.e. is it more like "turn until the IP gauge reads XX", or is it kind of touchy feely like adjusting a bicycle hub, bottom bracket or headset. (The kind of adjustment where you're going by feel. "That's too tight. Now it's too lose", etc.) Thanks in advance.
