Hi, I just bought this compressor off of a privately owned dive boat with no information available. I'm trying to identify the make/model and find a manual. Does anyone know what it may be? Thank you!

Did you buy it as a high pressure breathing air compressor?

You wanna breath from that someday?
It's 2 stage, probably for surface supplied air, back in 1975.

I see, old school snuba? That would explain the belt drive that was on it.

The guy I bought it from said it was used for diving for copper in Lake Superior - he inherited the boat with the compressor on it, didn't know anything about it. Never crossed my mind that it wouldn't be a high pressure compressor for filling tanks. I guess I paid $75 to learn something, that's a lot cheaper than a college course 
Thanks for the information!
