Depends on what you're looking for; single stage, dual stage, all-in-one ready to go, or plan on building your own.
Really, then that means I've been lucky evilbay.Under $100 would rule out any dual stage unit.
You sure have ! I can't even find a decent 2 stage regulator body on Evil Bay for under $100.00 right now let alone something that's ready to go. I just started looking though so hopefully my luck will change.Really, then that means I've been lucky evilbay.
I posted this before and apparently they haven't sold ONE yet (there are no bad 2 stage reg IF it's not blown)..You sure have ! I can't even find a decent 2 stage regulator body on Evil Bay for under $100.00 right now
Try searching for brand names vs the term dual stage. Names like; Praxair, Concoa, Swagelok, harris, smith, Matheson, Airgas, Airproducts and there's tons more. Many sellers don't even know they have a dual stage regulator and they mislabel it, and bid low. To be honest, I've also notice there's tons of new people bidding on regulators. Maybe it's not a good time to buy.You sure have ! I can't even find a decent 2 stage regulator body on Evil Bay for under $100.00 right now let alone something that's ready to go.

If I'm not mistaken the Milwaukee solenoid has a non-conventional thread. You'd have to replace the solenoid with a Milwaukee brand solenoid.You could just replace the solenoid with a nice one and replace the regulator if it ever fails. A decent solenoid is $35-$40.

my only guess is they are ONLY, w/ shipping slightly under $100...
I paid $60 for my Victor and in relation to many here.. I overpaid...

Maybe it is just "presentation"......... or because they look to be all o2.

Yeah, it's super easy, but as mentioned, you'll only be able to use the Milwaukee solenoid due to the different thread type used by Milwaukee.Yeah building one is out of the picture as I dont think im "handy" enough to do that. is replacing the solenoid easy? cause its looks like im doing that or gonna try an aquatek.
I admit it looks like heck.. But they all look to be old O2 regulators.. In the proper range... As to the gauges.. Cheapest replacement part I can think of..Parker = Verilflo, but you have to be careful on the models.
I don't like the fact that they just toss a bunch of the regulators in a cardboard box, can't be good for gauges.
I'm pretty sure the threads are close enough if not npt. I believe the reason someone thought otherwise is because the body is aluminum and did a comparison with a used solenoid.Yeah, it's super easy, but as mentioned, you'll only be able to use the Milwaukee solenoid due to the different thread type used by Milwaukee.
I thought I read somewhere, and I may be wrong, that they use NPS. If worse comes to worse you can always force an NPS and an NPT since the thread size is so close. Or run the solenoid inline.I'm pretty sure the threads are close enough if not npt.

^ No no, I agree with you, it's a nice source to pick up. These surplus bio-science, whatever sites, do occasionally have good stock.
I just never had the need to buy 10+ regulators, besides how would these guys even ship something like this. It's either
1. Ship the cardboard box and have the regulators cushion by brass metal.
2. Ship the regulators properly and charge the buyer.
Anyways, come to the darkside! You'll love pressurize Co2, Jeff!
