The Astro comes with a tiny Italian flow gage that has a quick disconnect fitting for the ~4mm white plastic tube gas line that comes from the welder.
I'd like to get another of these fittings OR would consider midding in a 5/8-18 Inert Gas fitting in the back of the welder.
This OE quick disconnect also has a straight thread and a flat plastic washer gasket at the bottom of the threaded portion.
So even if I found one of these quick disconnect fittings, I would still have to adapt this straight thread to the 5/8-18.
If I could just identify this thread, I could search for an adapter. So far I have not been able to dig up a pic of this ubiquitous Italian regulator of the past.
Here are a couple pics: one of the regulator where you can see the threads and white plastic washer and one of the quick disconnect fitting.
