Unless the compressor used some bastardized thread you will be able to.
nearly all regulators use NPT ( pipe threads) and unloaders as well.
figure out what size the threads are ( take off the regulator and head to the plumbing aisle and use couplings to figure out the size/thread and buy that one. in the closest to the size of the one you already have.
Hint: Ace and True value carry some regulators and IIRC unloader valves. easier to match up on site than via a pic on Ebay

If the desired adjustment range and flow rate match, yes.

Gold paint? With the big plastic control panel with the regulator in the middle and two gauge? I bought one of them new in the mid-70's for spraying. It was a nice little machine. I wish I still had it.
I don't know what the regulator looks like under the plastic panel, but as the others have said, you shouldn't have any trouble finding one to at least fit the plumbing even if the configuration is a little different. The cheaper line at the time (green paint) didn't have the 'control panel' on the front, but as I recall, they were pretty much the same machine, and had a regulator mounted to the end of the tank with a hose connection. The pressure switch was on a manifold of some sort between the motor and pump. A little creative plumbing should take care of it.

Had one just like it. It was my dad's. Was used and abused for many many years. Starting having trouble getting up to pressure, and kicking breakers. Gave it to my buddy and bought a new compressor. He put a new set of reed valves in it, and is still using it.
