Regulator got problem

Remember I sent my reg to service few weeks ago? WEll, they called me up and told me that the hoses had to be changed, the gauge has water seeped in or flooded before. What! I gotta spend more money to change it. After considering, I decided that there's no saving in these and so had to bear the cost to change.

Called up the seller and told him about it, he was sorry for the bad condition, how true I don't know, but I believe him again. He said he has a spare gauge and would give that to me, as for the hoses, he would pay for it. Ok, I hope he's keeping his words. Else with this amount, I can almost get a brand new reg. Hopefully, this sat I can meet up with him to do the changes.
