*Sigh* Broken E-bay item - Equipment

So I bought a CO2 regulator on ebay, and one of the gauges is bent in with the needle broken completely off. I asked the seller if he could do an exchange, but it's going to cost me even MORE in shipping.. Is there any chance that this one will still work okay? Do I really need to be able to read the left gauge? I probably do, as it shows psi :-/ Ugh. I really needed this system as soon as possible. -_-

I would not use that regulator for your safety.
Have them send you the replacement as quick as you need it...

i weld for a living and let me tell you when one of those regulators goes it goes the adjustment knobs are what tend to fly off and Ive seen em go through cinder blocks so i agree with Orlando on not using the gauge even the little glass on the gauge face could cause serious harm
