Paper for an old skool rotary compression tester?

My buddy has an old skool compression tester for Suzuki rotary motorcyles (yep, they made them in the 70's).

It's almost out of paper. As far as I know, the paper is the same as the stuff used by the older Mazda compression tester.

It spits out stuff like this:



Anyone out there have any idea on where I can get more? The dealers have been a dead end.

Thanks,
Sonny

Try the local scientific supply houses, the output is similar to what many instruments will puke out.

Post the exact make, model, and any writing on the machine. I got some tricks I can try to find some info for you.

I have the same tester and I only have one roll left (the one that's in there now).... I tried calling my usual hookup who can find ANYTHING and even he can't get his hands on any!

I think that calculator paper will work fine.... just no nice graph. So save some of your old paper to use as a calibration sheet.
