I can't deal with my 30+ year old Tanaka

What's a reasonable new set of regulators
that won't cost an arm and a leg. I'm
not adverse to buying a whole new set if
that's the cheapest way.

Check welding stores for rebuilts. Around here they run $30 to $50
when available, and pass the same tests as brand new ones. They're
name-brand regulators because those are the ones they can get parts
for.
