Default Pitot stiatic test set MB-1

Trying to locate a manual or any information relating to the MB-1 pitot
static test set. This is an older model originally built by TACTAIR aircraft
products co. in Bridgeport, PA.

I bought this thing a few years ago and have finally dug it out of the pile
accumulating in the hangar. It is time to make it operational.

Any info, manuals, etc would be greatly appreciated.

Merle

The only tricky part is the valve-manifold. The manifold plumbing is
soldered so be careful removing it or connecting/disconnecting it. You
should unscrew the valves all the way out and examine the needles for
damage. One bad needle valve means having to replace the manifold unless
you are lucky, have a spare and are handy with a pencil torch. The
crossfeed valve is to compensate for altitude in the airspeed indicator.
The pumps and plumbing are pretty straight forward. The fittings are all AN.

One word of caution: operating the pitot pump is a good way to
scratch your knuckles on the edge of the case.

It's been a long time since I have operated one, but I will answer
any questions I can.
