     Hi Rod,

     I am very satisfied with my three Scubapro Mk 10/ G250's.  They are 
     easy breathing and have held up well.  The LP whip is a bit long, so I 
     replaced them with shorter hoses to prevent a big "loop".  The first 
     stage is not easily overhauled at home, if that is a consideration for 
     you. The first stage has LP ports facing every which-way and two HP 
     ports.  Therefore, it is easily adaptable for most any configuration. 
     I also have a G200 second stage, which I like very much.  It lacks the 
     adjustment knob found on the G250, but is very reliable and a little 
     simpler in design.

     I'm embarrassed to say it, but my favorite regulators are the old US 
     Divers Conshelf series.  You can take them apart, clean them, adjust 
     them at home with a few common tools (and a gauge) and they last 
     forever.  My O2 regulator is an old conshelf, (circa 1971) cleaned for 
     O2 service and with O2 compatible soft parts installed.  The design 
     hasn't changed much in 25 years, and they are very rugged.

Currently use the Poseidin Odin and find it to be a very good regulator (it 
took a few tune-ups). Before purchasing another Odin, I'd like to learn 
what others on the list think are regulators worth considering. Please tell 
me brand, model and why you like it.

If I get enough of a response, I'll share the results for all.

Please email directly to me. Thanks.
