[PSUBS-MAILIST] Button Gauge

[James Frankland via Personal_Submersibles]

Hi Scott,

Ive got 2 of them installed already on both my two emergency regs (1st
stage).. They seem fine, but I was wondering if they are prone to
failure?.    That makes sense with the cave diving\snagging etc being a
problem for divers.    In this case mine are ok, im not clanging them on
anything.

Thanks
james
