In Steves notes on the Dual regulatory set-up he says "Auxiliary output for rotary handpiece pedal or PalmControl can be adapted to regulator on the right.
"

Does anybody have a photo of how they have done this?

Cheers

Hi Tom, Here is an older photo of the setup.
Unscrew the barb fitting where the clear line from the airgraver foot pedal connects and screw in a y fitting there. Them reconnect the clear line and also the line to the rotary disc pedal. I have those Y fittings and send them out with the disc foot pedals. The disc pedals are $69 and listed with the airgraver pedals http://www.airgraver.com/Hand_Engrav...OOT%20CONTROLS

Is this still the way to do it? My regulator looks a bit different on the classic I just got. Their is only one gauge on mine.

Hi Seth, They were updated 7 or so years ago with some needed improvements. Check the inside front cover of the manual, there is a photo there. Compared to the older model there is the mode selection to shut idle on/off with a switch. Also a built in auxiliary port for a rotary or connecting a palmcontrol. There is also that optional switch to turn on/off the auxiliary.
