I have a Morini CM00EI with 2 cylinders. One of them has an electronic pressure gauge and the other is analogue.
The analogue gauge includes has what appears to be a Perspex cover. This cover has three cracks. I have never dropped or otherwise damaged the cylinder but I do live in the tropics where plastics have a hard time.
Should I be worried about the cracks or is it cosmetic only?

Re: Morini Air Cylinder Gauge
The plastic lens is just to keep dust and debris out...and to keep you from accidentally touching the pressure indication pointer. You can buy new ones and they are easily replaced...at least on the older style analog cylinders.

Re: Morini Air Cylinder Gauge
As above.
These plastic covers are readily available. I have several spares. Purchased from Steyr. But fit Morini as well.
The old cover is easily removed with a thin metal pointed rod. Taking care not to scratch the gauge.
To fit the replacement. Do not push with your thumb. You will probably break it!
Just put in place. Then find a hard smooth surface. Chopping board is ideal. Place gauge down and gently push the cylinder down.

Re: Morini Air Cylinder Gauge
Good advice above.
In my personal use, I consider them pretty useless since I would always fill before a match or practice. Since the gauges are just another place for the cylinder to leak from, I just would forget it. I grant that this would cause agony to the anal.
