Suggestions for a new brand of regulator

[fungrel]

Hi,

Tesuco twin body regulator decided to give up the ghost, and only had it for a few years.

Just wondering what other brands out there that are worth looking at?

I am open to spending more on something that will last longer than a year or two.

Micromatic? Harris? Something else?

Cheers!

Harris has lasted about 10 years so far

Tesuco had a bad batch a few years ago, they did a pretty big rejig of their QA and appear to have sorted the problems.
I have an older Duel Tesuco that's been working a treat for 5 or 6 years and know of plenty of others.
I know my local (Brewman) is stocking the Tesuco regs and wouldn't be if he wasn't happy with the present model, worth looking at.

I would stay well away from some of the very cheap ones and some of the top end ones; although good quality; are getting pretty expensive.

Have you looked at re-kitting the ones you have, replace the diaphragms and cassettes and you are most of the way to a new reg at a fraction of the price.

I've looked around for harris parts but can't find them anywhere (in Australia)
I've got a 821 that's about 10 years old and a 121 that's a lot older (and I can't find info about them anywhere online)
The 821 has been creeping a bit more of late, so I actually pulled it out this morning and put the 121 on
it was creeping even quicker, so I tore it apart and the diaphragm is completely stuffed, all deteriorated and sticking to everything
I've love to know where I can get 821 rebuild kits from

It's pretty hard to go wrong with micromatic. Easy to find service parts for, they're well designed in the first place, ...

But they are a bit on the pricey side.
