I was just given an old American Bristol compressor. I have searched the web thoroughly and can't find any information. I'm looking for a user or service manual for this model or a similar one. Ordinarily I would have passed on an antique compressor but my location, over 2 hours one way from air fills, makes me want to try to get this running. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Patrick
