Two, I bought a 5lb tank. Its tiny compared to the regulator which just got in today. Get at a bigger tank if you can, it looks like its weighty enough to topple it over.
I can't figure out the part or parts that connects the tubing to the Hoke valve. I'll probably just get a bubble counter to make the connection.
As you stated, eBay was good for the Wika forged gauges. Bought those today.
Thanks again, I was almost about to buy the Milwaukee regulator,,, glad I found this thread. I think this pro level set up will complement the Vertex RX-C well.

Regardless of the size of your CO2 tank, you should strap it to a corner somewhere. The part that connects the tubing to the needle valve is here:
