Rotunda A/C recycling machine - need manual

[njsteve]

I bought a working Ford Rotunda R12 recovery machine, locally. It is from the early 1990's It is model # 158-00001. I did not come with a manual, though. Does anyone have an idea where I can locate a copy of the operators manual?

Have you tried the Ford dealer...maybe they have books stashed away?

After pulling off the side cover I found that the machine was built by Sun and serviced by Snap On. I called Snap On and they had the operators manual on file and emailed it to me. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

Also, I actually found another machine - a slightly more recent Snap-On unit with a nearly full tank! My mechanic buddy has it at his shop since he knows exactly how to use it. So I don't have a need for this Rotunda machine at the moment in case anyone could use one of these machines.
