Now I know that's not much, but since I can't find the parts anywhere, I really don't have much of a choice. My regs are older Aqua-lung conshelf regs.
Anyway, the labor really isn't that much so I decided to forgo doing any of my own reg. service work.
With that being said.... I did locate a copy of a service manual for my regs so maybe I'll just tune them a little...

"Parts are cheap, it is the labour that is expensive"
This is an actual quote from a dive store opening in the Southwest.
They are looking to offer "Free servicing for the life of any equipment purchased from them for the duration of the original ownership".
Value added service? YES
There is much moaning in the retail industry about the internet business ruining the local dive shop industry. Sorry but that's competition. I don't mind paying a bit more at a local dive shop if they are offering additional value to the sale but gone are the days when I will let them take the piss on their prices for no additional benefit.
