I was given this old Decor first stage: DIN diaphragm. It is obviously old and unused for many years. I thought I could use it in the scuba classes I teach. Just for fun I put a second stage on it and attached it to a cylinder. It works great. It is very solid and has a turret head for LP connections. I would like to find a way to rebuild it (I have experience servicing regs), but I have so far found no information about this reg. Please see the photos. If anyone has any suggestions about getting parts, please let me know.

I am just doing guesswork here by looking thru old regulator files. Maybe this is 950 first stage with environmental kit? Curious why there is D-ring attached, can't quite see what is going on there from the photo angle. Creative sling attachment point?
For the fun of it, here is some info if it is a 950.

Reckon parts will be hard to find, maybe with luck. 950s and other Dacor first stages tend to go relatively cheap when they pop up on the auction sites, so could pick up another for parts. Obviously not a practical approach if just for fun.

Wow! Thank you so much. This is a huge help. Yes, the D-ring was just holding the reg up, it was not attached.
