Portable compressor identification

by Ron Dolch
(Houston, Tx.)

I pulled this out of the trash and to my amazement it works like a charm. After changing the oil, lubricating the motor, and fabricating an oiled foam air filter, I pulled the head and the cylinder still has cross hatch marks. Sadly, the manufacturers ID tag is long gone. The pump block is marked with model A-9. The motor in a 1/2 hp Franklin Electric and the pressure switch is a Furnas 69BA.

My only questions are does anyone recognize it as to who made it, are parts still available, and how old is it? Thank you for any info you can send my way. Ron
