Can anybody tell me what this First stage is??

I originally posted this in the Regulators forum but nobody seems to know what it is? It looks familiar to me but I just cant seem to place it. I picked up up in box of equipment given to me by a friend it belonged to her late father. It has 1 Hp and 4 Lp ports and may have been matched with an old Tabata second so it may be Tabata/Tusa but I am just guessing. The Yoke screw looks very familiar to me but I just cant remember where I have seen it before.

I don't know what model it is. But I know Sportsways had that type of yoke screw knob.

Looks very much like an "Ocean Master" circa 1982

It looks close. But the Ocean Master yoke nut looks much wider. But hey I could be wrong.

I remember you, Sam Miller. You are a friend of Ron Edmundson, right? (LA county guys)

Haha. Leave it to you to identify it.

Thanks Guys that's definitely it. It's certainly a curiosity for me. I guess now I need to decided what to do with it. I don't like junking anything I would rather find it a good home. I will do some research on it and see if it's still serviceable and go from there. If anybody is interested in it feel free to make me an offer but keep in mind I'm in Australia so postage will be a little on the heavy side.
