I have a Cornelius compressor, I believe it is military. I have very little or no info on it. If any one has info on one I would greatly appreciate it. It only fills to 3000 lbs and is 115 volts, which is OK because I never fill above 3000 lbs anyway. Thanks

There is one on the internet but it does not tell me anything about maintaining it. other than that I can not find anything.

No idea what model you have but a 2021 post has a phone number for a person that has 40 years experience

Hope that helps. It was a very interesting item to research, and certainly a piece of history.

A friend of mine passed away last fall and I received it from his wife. I do know that it runs on 115 volts and 30 amps and will fill to 3000 lbs and only has 6.5 hrs on it. The oil gauge says it on the low mark and I do not know what type oil to put in. I would like to have a manual for it.

The first ones came from amongst others the WWII B-17.
Hydraulic oil at the time was highly flamable and the system heavy, so HP air was the solution.
The original 1500psi models ran on 27V DC.
I think they're so neat and i would love to own one just for the novelty

Mr. Shelden is retired now. I'm not sure if he's still troubleshooting.. I have a Kidde compressor from him and decided to get an Alkin since he's retired now.
