How do I get info for a 1973 ford rotunda 3 phase 10 hp air compressor. I saw one on auction just like the one I just bought. They called it a man200 model.

Thank you for the post!

I'm not too familiar with this make and model air compressor, I'll admit.

Does it look like the compressor on the website below? Click the link to view the page:

Please confirm and I'll do what I can to obtain some info.

So according to my work computer that page is unavailable now.
Here is a link to the page where I bought mine...

I don't recognize the unit, but I'm sure the Pump was probably manufactured by someone else. It looks like it could be a Champion pump, possibly.
You may want to contact Champion and inquire about this.

I'll keep digging around, but so far I can't find much info on this.

So after running the tank tag I came up with this link.
www.alecomachinery.com/joomla/index.php/...ir-compressor-detail
The tank is identical matching number and compressor looks the same, but mine is 10 hp.
Incidentally, mine was demod out of a defunct ford dealership. It had the 3/4 liquidtite from the motor chopped and the BX or flex from the pressure switch cut. I'm guessing I'm missing a starter that the pressure switch controlled? It's a beast for sure and probably puts out 25+ CFM at 125 psi or more and at 300$ was a great buy. The hassle is I think I need to buy a starter now which will be a 100$ anyway and now I need to rig up some tap switching for my generator so I can toggle between 120/240 single phase for backup power and 277/480 for the compressor. Even doing that the cheap way with breakers is still gonna cost me a pretty penny. But burndying wire taps every time is outa the question. If anybody has any cheap suggestions let me know. Thanks!
