Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Source for a demand regulator?

Hi Phil,

(Read your article;  good job.)  I think the question on everyone's mind is
"exactly where do we get the bellows itself?"  Can you cite a manufacturer
and part number we can access?  I'd like to try this myself, but out here a
short jet ride from Honoruru, I'm strictly a mail order kind of guy.

VBR,

Pat
