Your reg was produced in the early 1970s. That model, along with two others, tha Avalon II (?), and Viking I were versions of the Swimaster models: Polaris, Little Gem III, and MR12.
The Conqueror II, Polaris, and Little Gem III were all unbalanced piston first stages with a downstream second stage. The second stage is identical to that used on the higher priced models.
Swimaster was the "professional" line that was sold through dive shops. The Voit line was sold through sporting good shops, and other "non dive shop" vendors such as Sears.
Your reg is very easy to rebuild, as parts are available. In fact, I have a number of the unbalanced piston models like yours that I have used on vintage single hose dives.
If you need more information, just let me know.
