What regulator is this?

Bought this years ago as a complete setup before I knew better from ultralife reef company. Basically now I have discarded everything that came with it with the exception of the CO2 tank itself and the regulator. I tried to identify what it is, but web searching has just left me more confused. I do get the dreaded EOTD if I wait too long to refill.

Is it just my needle valve (the clippard), or is this regulator hopeless.

Thanks

Fred,

Can you pic details of the model # or label at all?

I can't tell anything than it is in fact a regulator

Thanks

Also a followup question. I always assumed PSI was also on the left side. But the indicator is not PSI its LPM. Which I believe is Liters per minute, which is an indicator of flow not pressure. I looked to google for a quick LPM to PSI converter and quickly realized there is no conversion. I suppose I could solve for PSI, possibly by calculating the flow rate if I had interior measurements and distance of the flow. But the bottom line is what LPM should I be aiming for in this case? Or should I just get a new regulator. I was hoping to get by with perhaps just replacing the needle valve.

Thanks

some strange brand (fisher, concoa, linde, smith, VWR) is my guess. Looks like a single stage. Has industrial gauges. not 100% sure though. Def not a victor-made unit.
