Recently bought myself a 2nd hand compressor and wondered if anyone had any info about it. Its made by Bristol Pneumatics in 1982, plate on the compressor says model 4S16-50.
Should be an interesting project to get it working, 1st thing I need is an engine as it came with a big 3 phase motor and I only have single phase.

If anyone can help/advise I'd be grateful.

Get 3 phase.

It costs a bit but then you can buy all sorts of fun machine shop toys like big-ass welders and you could build some really cool toroidal spark generators too!

You know you want to. Well I do anyway.
