Shopsmith Air compressor

I am new to this forum and have been a Shopsmith owner for 25+ years. I recently purchased a Shopsmith Air compressor and I am looking to see if anyone has a manual I can get a copy of. I'm not even sure I am posting this request in the right place on this website. Thanks for any help!
