Jim, I have one of those also, I had printed out an original ad for it and put it on the display table at the engine shows.
when people read it, they do not believe how many nails could be driven as claimed in the ad.
you have one of the 1st automatic nailers , grant you, you had to hit it with a hammer.
is the instructions on the inside of the nail box lid ?
I can't remember what penny nail was used, they were for roofing.
