Hi Jon:

Just caught this thread as I am recently back online after a relocation to the lovely boondocks of NW Missouri.

In a previous post I saw you got your supplies from "Praxxair" but did not specify which "Praxxair" distributor.

I would personally take the set up down to the Linweld store on Front Street and 435 on the Missouri side and have them check it out.  The counter guys pretty much know their stuff, unlike some of the other distributors in the greater Kansas City area, and Linweld has facilities to repair about anything you can think of in the realm of welding equipment.

Last regulator I had rebuilt was a Victor two stage and it set me back about $75 and took a week from drop off to pick up.  "Dave", the chief counter guy, told me he had some "cheap" single stage regulators he could sell me for about the same money, but since I weld with such low pressures (sheet metal, steel and aluminum) we opted to rebuild what I had. 

PM me off list and I might be able to tag up with you some Saturday when I make a run down to Horrible Fright.  I am north of St. Joseph now (Yeah, Jesse James and the Pony Express for all you Brits).
