Hi Robert... I am the person Toby spoke of. While there are no rebuild kits available, there is some maintenance you can perform on the CPR to keep it healthy, or restore it. I got some great information from the already published article on dmcnews.com by Dave Santos: http://www.dmcnews.com/Techsection/controlpressreg.htm If you are interested, I can send you some pictures of what I did to clean my CPR and get it working again. Hope this is somewhat helpful. Thanks! Dave --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "therealdmcvegas" <dmcvegas@xxxx> wrote: > I would agree that the CPR is the root of the problem.
