I recently picked up a used Champion Centurion compressor and the gentlemen selling it included two vintage Devilbiss components. One of the parts is a pressure regulator, and other is either a filter or water seperator/dryer... maybe both?
I tried searching the internet for some info on these two components but couldn't come up with anything.
I did find this eBay listing, but it doesnt really contain more info... but it does have some pictures of the whole assembly like I have.

Can anybody tell me if these two parts are worth cleaning up and using?
I'd also like to see if perhaps a rebuild kit is available for the regulator and maybe a filter for the other piece.
They seem to be really well built. All stainless steel and aluminum from what I can tell. Maybe they are junk and I should buy new stuff? Maybe you folks can help me out.
The regulator is has HAA-522 written on it. It appears to have several ports marked "regulated" and one marked "main". These are NPT ports. There is a final port that is unabeled that has a different type of thread, and this connects to the filter/dryer device.
The other part, which I believe is a dryer or filter of some kind (correct me if I am wrong) is labeled "Series 501, Type HLE".
I have included some photos of both parts, and also some photos of the dissassembled filter device.
Any info would be much appreciated. If anybody has an instruction manual, parts list or exploded diagram of these parts, that would FANTASTIC!
