Aerograph Compressor

[moodubs]

Hi all, been away for a while but now I'm back, Ive had the luck to drop on an old Aerograph compressor for only £49 (about 70 bucks) recently but cant find any information on them, the compressor has been fitted to a later tank and motor, the tank was made in 1961 but I think the compressors older.

Mine is a type 224 twin cylinder, it has an approx 1/4" tee piece from the top of the cylinder heads to a threaded fitting, however I cannot find where the fitting should connect to. there is a damaged pipe fitting on the tank but this looks like the outlet connection.

Can anyone help please with any info

cheers guys

My guess would be to the pressure switch for unloading the head pressure.

If you get a chance, could you please post more pics of that egg shaped air filter? Maybe pull it for cleaning and take a few pics? I'd be curious if its actually got a paper filter element inside or how its supposed to work and if possible who made it. It definitely adds a cool look to the compressor.
