The 2nd stage is freeflowing, other than that I don't know what the inside will hold until I get it. I was wondering if either Slonda or Greg Barlow would be interested or have the time and inclination to get it up to snuff for me. I would, of course, pay for all time and materials. PM me if interested. Thanks
Glad to hear that Shackle. Enjoy your MR-12 regulator.shackle wrote:Thanks for all your replies. I have located a technician.
Welcome to the Voit ranks..USdiver wrote:Just spent the afternoon at my LDS rebuilding my AMF Swimaster MR12-II, upgrading the HP seat to the Mares tri-material specifications (thanks for the pin Greg). I set the IP at 135, and man is this a sweet breathing rig. It's almost an embarrassment going by the moniker of USdiver, as this vintage single hose breathes nicer than my beloved Conshelf XIV. If AMF had been able to make their Harley-Davidson division perform as smoothly as their MR12 regulators, well the history of motorcycles might have worked out differently. Can't wait to show this off on my next dive.

and so good they still make em, but only listed in the USD Military catalog, I still sell these to the Navy here on Guam. But man are they friggin expensive!Bryan wrote:I'd like to know what other single hose can stand up to the Conshelf XIV Supreme in any circumstance? Especially for the price ! They are 10 foot tall and bullet proof...JMO and personal experience..
You just haven't tried an MR12-II yet..hallen41 wrote:I love my Scubapro Mk V with adjustable 2nd stage.
I started diving it in 1966 and it still works fine. I have made deep deco dives wit no octo and it always brought me home.
My other favorite is the Conshelf XIV, built like a tank and breathes great.
people have tried to sell me on more modern regulators but I just can't see the point.
