Thank you. A friend who is a welder has a surplus one I think.Can't tell much from that photo, but seeing Esab, should be good.
How are they dangerous? I'm a bit worried by this high pressure stuff, and am not even keen on being near the bottle, really.The British Compressed Gases Association (BCGA) recommends that pressure regulators are refurbished or replaced with new at least every five years. Not everyone sticks to that, but I have seen regulator diaphragms where rubber flexor elements have rotted, making them dangerous.

Thank you. The regulator I have is marked "Insp/Rep 2018" stamped into the brass casting at the back. I don't know how old it is. One of the gauges has lost the screws holding the dial housing which is loose, the plastic cover seems to have suffered from acetone, and the dial face itself bent, so I thought it ought to go.By the way, how old is the gauge that broke? It might be older that your replacement.
