   Have seen and used similar compressors in dive operations in the Bahamas and Caribbean. They are simple in design and can

work if properly maintained. BUT, they need to be purged of moisture about every ten or fifteen minutes of operation. Some have two purge valves for different parts of the system. This is essential for clean, dry breathing or pcp air.

Looks like an old Cornelius with K valve fill. Great compressors. I have a couple and both work great and still pump to 3000 PSI.

I bought a 4500 PSI compressor so don't use them much anymore.

Most prople run Mobil Jet Oil II in them, I get mine off eBay. Jim Sheldon knows about everything there is to know about them and still had some spare parts a while back.
