Did the oxygen recharge trial today and managed to fill eight bottles without a hitch.
Each is filled to 2200 psi - no leaks and no mishaps!
Sort of like a record for me?

OK Here's the scoop.
I have eleven sets of oxygen equipment. They consist of a 167 liter medical oxygen cylinder, post valve wrench, regulator, crush washer, oxygen swivel tubing adapter, and six feet of tubing. The cylinders are all full. The regulators vary in design but should be fine. I think I have fifteen or sixteen regulators.
They come out at $40.00 for a complete set.
The only issue is the special shutoff wrench for the cylinder post valve. Really a non-issue because it is easy to use a small adjustable wrench. I may well have about a dozen by next week's meeting as I am having them machined.
At present nine are committed as follows:
D. H., A. C., Hillyard, G. W., S. B., D.D., D. A., C. N. and M.E.
I will bring these to the meeting [just before I leave for vac]
If you want you can pick up prior - just PM me.
I have completed and tested the refill rig - works fine!
I will be able to get more bottles if needed - may just want to stock some up anyway?
[approx [$20 filled]

I'm late to this thread, but I'm interested if there's any available.

Well that was a surprise.
All eleven sets are spoken for as follows:
D. H., A. C., Hillyard, G. W., S. B., D.D., D. A., C. N., J.D., M.E. and J.D.
These will be available at the meeting Wed 5/30 - if you want them sooner call me.
Since this seems sort of popular and I have some more regulators, I found more M6 bottles at a good price. They will need to be filled - this is no problem except for my schedule. I will therefore be able to put some more systems together.
Unfortunately, I will be travelling and not be able to do this until I return at the end of June.
Just update this thread as needed. I will most likely NOT have decent access to the webpage as satellite data transfer is very slow aboard ship.
I think the next set will have about six or so?

Thanks again for pulling it all together; can't wait to blast my yeasties with some good old O2.

OK, back in the good old US of A.
I now have about ten to 12 O2 bottles and about 8 regulators.
Same deal for club members - $40 per set.
I have one order for JS.
If you can't wait for the next meeting just PM me otherwise July 25th [@ Turoni's].

A .5 micron is what I use with O2. I have a 2 micron I use with my old air pump.
