New Maplenoll Ariadne owner needing advice

I have recently purchased a maplenoll ariadne. I have tried to learn a little about the table but find very little information. I know the table was discontinued in the 90's but the little i have found indicated it is a very good table. I am interested to learn if there are any tricks or problems to optimizing this table. As most of you probably know, it is an air bearing platter and tonearm. I plan on putting my zxy airy 3 on the arm once I get it set up.

Threaders: Air Supply Chain(ASC):
A odd thing happened following my last thread, the ASC started to spring leaks in places that already had been checked were ok. This is more challenging than I initially expected. Everthing in the air chain is going to be re-tested. I will keep you informed.

Threaders : Problems with Air Supply Chain (ASC) :

Specialists @ GE ( thread & PVC sealants ) report that for a variety of reasons the sealants I previously applied were not designed to work with PVC & metals . GE is forwarding industrial samples to apply. GE said that their products should seal the entire chain boosting the PSI . More to come soon.

Can anyone advise the air flow needed for the 70 pound platter model, I understand it should be 40-45psi pressure, but to size the compressor I need to know the flow/displacement in cfm.
Thanks.
James.

The platter size shouldn't matter. I'm not sure how to answer the rest of question though.

I recently purchased a jun-air compressor model 6-15. The flowrate is rated for approx 2 cfm. The compressor keeps up with my system good. but I find after about 2 hours of continuous use the compressor gets pretty hot. 3 cfm would do nicely and would allow the compressor enough cycle time that overheating should not be a problem.
