I was too late

My father got hold of a few CO2 double regulators, complete with guages . He thought they were only fit for scrap and cut off the guages and fittings flush with the regulators before I was able to rescue them. I managed to get one that he missed.
Not sure if an easy out will be able to remove the pieces in the other ones, but I will sure try.
Anyone want one?

If these can be salvaged yes please. I'm working on a jockeybox and want to permanently mount a regulator and air lines.

Should be easy enough to remove. I can try and pull them if you want to send them over. I have two regs now and don't need one.

I also have some tools to removed stripped bolts that work well with practice. I can help you out as well if you want.

On topic (barely): does anyone have suggestions on removing and replacing broken gauges from regulators? I don't have a vice, and breaking the Loctite stuff on them is kicking my ass. And yes, I know they are left-hand thread (where indicated). I tried heating it up with a torch for a few seconds (I dunno, grasping at straws here), but no go.

I have the same issue.

Maybe we both need a session at a friendly neighbourhood Brewnoser with a table vice, a breaker bar, and a jar of elbow grease. Anyone offering, I'll bring beer as payment!

Ugh, anyone else? This guy makes all of my beer, anyway!
Cool, let's make a date when I'm back, I'd like to get these bad boys fixed up. I'll have Abri de la Tempete beer to share.

I have a small bench vice and a good assortment of tools. If you want to drop over sometime Keith, we can take a crack at it.

Way late to report back, but Liverdance hooked me up with his vice and strong arms, and I have my reg sorted. I highly recommend him, he works cheap!

I need to get another. Someone knocked over my tank and the new regulator took a hit lol.
I'm sure I'll be in contact with all of you this summer.
