Mr. Crider did an excellent covering the subject matter. I feel empowered.
I was blown away with how easy it is to fix a regulator! Other stuff, I've had extensive experience with electron-mechanical stuff, but it was very enlightening, particularly with the safety aspect. Great presentation.
Good info, no nonsense, don't pay people when you can fix it yourself. Words to live by
