Any small one with a 3 to 5 gallon tank will do. You only have a couple of
hundred cubic inches of tubing to fill and even a small compressor will give
you all the pressure you need.

Most anything will do. Since it doesn't have to hold pressure for long
periods of time, a used one would suffice. Shop around. DO NOT buy an
oilless. They are obnoxiously noisy and wear out quickly. You should be
able to get a good used one pretty cheap.

Correction: Do not buy a cheap oilless. The expensive oilless are fine.
