Broomwade identification, help please

[garfyted]

Hiya, my neighbour has kindly gifted me his old compressor following a bank holiday garage clear out. It looks like proper decent British engineering so want to clean it up and get parts etc. Struggling to fully identify it at the moment but have a photo of the data plate.. any Broomwade pro's out there?

That only shows information of the air receiver not the compressor. Post photos of the rest of it.

as long as the pump produces air at pressure the rest can be bought generic

Ah ok, apologies. Possibly another data plate under the grime but I'd be very pleased if you could Identify from the attached.....

Even if Broomwade had spares, they would be very expensive for an older machine. There might not be much wrong with it as they were very well built. If you need piston rings you can get them on Ebay so long as you size up the right ones. The poppet valves are very reliable but sometimes you get a bit of debris stuck under the disc in the valve and it doesn’t build pressure. The receivers are quite thick, unlike Chinesium compressors.an oil change and clean up and it should be good to go.

Alan - many thanks for your help - it does look like a proper well engineered piece of kit from an era when we used to do that. Appreciate your help.
