In love with vintage ScubaPro regs?

Besides myself and perhaps AWAP.......is anyone else in love with their vintage ScubaPro regs?
I'm using 30 plus year old first and second stage and won't trade them for the world.

Yes - Two chrome balanced second stages (190s).
Glad to be rid of the honking Mk VII - replaced with Mk25.

"Rid of" "RID OF" You couldn't, you wouldn't, would you? I have to admit that my Mk7 is not my favorite, but it has it's place and I use it at least a few dives every year. It's a great conversation starter.

I gave my Mk20 to my daughter. Much too new.

Sorry, I am properly chastised - "rid of" was totally insensitive, and you are right on the money about being a conversation starter, especially when it is draped across my At-Pac.

2 MRK V's one with 2 LP ports on a swivel, & 1 later model with 4 (I think) lp ports. Also a MRK VII. If you love vintage SP regs, you have to have a VII.

I use a 109 on my Phoenix for an Octo. It kinda completes the look.

Well I must be. I have several other newer regs to choose from but always return to the MkV that I've had a 30 year intimate relationship with.
