As per title, is this reg any good? First and second stage? It's going for $8. Was just wondering if it was worth picking up or not. Cheers.
Is this a Calypso 1st stage?

The first stage isn't a Conshelf or a Calypso. I don't know what it is.
2nd stage looks much newer, last 15 years, not something that would have been used with a Conshelf or Calypso

The Japanese don't generally mix and match, they buy sets as dealers don't sell individual stages. If the second stage is newer then more than likely the first stage is also. I've never seen a Conshelf with ribs/fins which makes me believe it's an earlier late (oxymoron) calypso just wanted to be sure.

If it is a calypso how does it compare to the legendary reliability of a Conshelf?
For the First stage try an old Tusa or Tabata
Second stage box top says US Divers SEA 4 but the exhaust deflector is missing so who knows whats behind the box top and badge
Intermediate hose looks off and old Scubapro R190
No way near a Calypso (even a prototype)
Frankly its a mix of old scrap junk

Even if you don't want to breathe out of it it might still be good for filling tires or spraying paint.
I have a couple of old Calypsos and they only have one HP and one LP port. I think they made some later Calypsos but I'm not sure when they stopped.

I have a later Calypso VI with 1 HP and 3 LP ports on a swivel. I think it is from around 1974?
