Hi all,
After buying my kegerator setup on ebay, I recently got beer in my Micromatic regulator and decided to open it up to clean it up. Looks like its had beer in it before... like 5 years ago. My question is can I salvage it or should I bite the bullet and get a new one. The large spring looks like it needs replacing and I see you can get repair kits for most of the other bits. I don't mind spending a bit of time on this and I like learning how things work, how to pull them apart, service them, put em back together. The amount of rust that came out of it has me worried. The thing is when it worked I couldn't get the pressure up to 3 bar. On full crank it would get up to around 2. Any help would be much appreciated.
