This might be a place to start:

    http://www.metalwebnews.com/howto/ph-conv/ph-conv.html

I haven't done this myself but the author *sounds* like he knows what

motel laundry machine and one from a 400 PSI compressor.  One of these
days I might try to make one do something...

Also might look at:

Four years ago, John Newman posted a reference to www.n-e-m.com as a
source of some parts to make the project easier but that site seems to
be defunct now.
