Switching to DIN

[jasondbaker]

I decided to switch to DIN this weekend. I ordered an Apeks DS4 din first stage and a couple of din valves to replace my existing yoke valves. I plan to keep my DST first stage for use on trips or other uses. Is there any reason to keep the old valves?

I'd hang onto them in case you decide to sell your tanks and want to put DIN valves on the new ones (like if you're going from alum. to LP steel) They aren't worth a whole lot. Usually you see them on the Northeast Scuba supply site used (rebuilt) for about $15-$25.

I don't think it's really worth the effort of selling them - and like Matt said, it could be helpful to have them around if you ever want to put the DIN valves on a new set of tanks and you want to sell the old tanks.
