    Unhappy New to forum, Regulator not Regulating.

    I bought my Nostalgia electrics keg with the stock regulator a couple months ago and the regulator is not staying at the proper PSI for long periods of time and now it is stuck creeping up around 15-20 PSI. Is the stock regulators in these kegerators not as good as ones on Micro Matic? I just don't want to have to keep adjusting this. Which regulator would you guys recommend?

    Before purchasing a new regulator, perform a [URL="http://www.micromatic.com/keg-beer-blog/index.php/131/kegerator-leak-detection/"]leak test [/URL]on th e system. If you decide to go with a new regulator, check out the link to this [URL="http://www.micromatic.com/draft-keg-beer/regulators-pid-842.html"]regulator[/URL].

    Are you stating that the regulator linked in my above post or the regulator that came with the Nostalgia kegerator that is not worthy?

    I agree the Nostalgia regulators have had some problems. I would go with another regulator.
