buying a second hand VR3 - what to look for

[liamm]

Provinding i can ebay some valuables i think i'm going to go down the vr3 route (i've one option still to be looked at though)

Lots of folk suggest getting one second hand, is there any faults or features that i should look for?

At the moment i only need oc nitrox so new is going to be five / six hundred, do i loose out on much by geiing one a bit older? They seem to knock about for £450 ish so its a good saving.

greens for any pointers

i would buy second hand . i sold one not so long ago , with all the extras on it the buyer had a huge saving over a new one. delta p will also do a service .if it turns on would be a good start

Problem is i'll probably have to but it unseen.......
why do they come up second hand so much??

i sold mine as i was buying a vision with trimix software , and i carry back up tables and dive timer , i had no use the the crab smasher anymore. and you will often see the non colour ones up for sale as peps are upgrading to the colour

Only point i can add, (not that it will affect usability)

look out for broken lines on the display. If they get dropped, on some occaisions this will knock a line out on the display (normally in the middle of the screen so it does not affect the display)

I've got one knocking about somewhere, Just come back from Delta P all new insides, The repair cost over £320. I've been a bit lax as it came back without all the mix codes so if your interested give me a shout and I'll chase them on the codes.
