new user frank K here

Hi,
First off I would like to introduce myself to the forum. My name is Frank, glad to be with you and I hope I can help as well as get help. I have a vintage 1951DeVilbiss P-NCD-501 compressor. Its amazing it looks like a Harley Head!!! It is also in workable condition but it is in need of maintenance. I need to buy a diaphragm and other parts for it to accomplish this. Can anyone guide me to a place that has parts for these old compressors? I would love to bring it up to like new condition please help me. I am always running into a dead end on the Internet it seems looking for parts myself. There has to be places to still acquire these parts. I actually have the owners manual to it, with part numbers, etc. Thank you very much for your help and I look forward to helping you as well whenever I can.

Hi Frank,
I have an old Devilbliss catalog from 1957 I think. Ill try and look tonight to see if anything is in there.

Frank, I found 4 pages in the Service manual. I don't know if you have this info or not. As for vendors, I really don't know who carries this old stuff.
You could also try posting over on the SmokeStak. http://www.smokstak.com/
There is a lot of old gearheads over there.

That's a cool compressor ! looks good, how did you get it ? I assume its all metal construction.

If you want larger pics I could email them direct
