My ROC is 104 which has a much more expensive overhaul kit, but I was already leaning towards Pacific Air. Thank you very much for sharing your experience.

Thanks, I know my ROC. Have you used these folks? How was the quality of the parts in the kit?

I am looking to purchase a rebuild kit for my 1990 era Quincy pump that came out of a school district auction. Years ago I had a reference for a very good source for parts and kits of this nature, but I have forgotten the name now and there seem to be dozens more suppliers than I remember...

I found out from Art on OWWM that these unusual unloaders were not just used on Binks branded Quincy pumps, but that they were standard issue for Quincy model 325 pumps ROC 9 & ROC 10 from 1961-1965 and on model 230 pumps from ROC 27- ROC 29 covering the same time periods. They also offered a...

I'm trying to learn more about the unusual towers that I have seen examples of on Binks badged Quincy built compressors (models 325 and 230). Based on their plumbing, I would think that these have to provide a similar function to the mushroom topped unloader towers that are typical on Quincy...

I'm not sure what ever ended up happening with your pump, but your flywheel seems to be from a different Quincy compressor or something. It may mean it was rotating too quickly. I think the normal ones for a 325 ROC 104 are about 16" diameter and have two belt grooves. Yours looks closer to...

This thread was just too good to go down in flames, but since the author hasn't been on in several months, the chance of getting the remaining updates may be slim.... Andy

Thanks fro the pin suggestions. That type of work will probably need to wait until I find out if I can get this vise working. I did try to do a little exterior cleaning and I found somebody's initials and a date stamp of 1922!!!! Andy

Oh ****, I forgot they were tapered. That might be harder to make.... Is it a standard taper like a Morse 2? Also, I realize this should probably have gone in the vintage tools discussion, not general. IS there an easy way to move it or should I flag a mod? In any case, it's going into the...

I went to look at some old woodworking machinery and there was an old vise sitting outside in the yard. After looking at the machinery and being told that everything was for sale, I asked if she was also trying to sell the vise. She said that if I would take it away, I could have it. She said...

This is a pretty basic question, but are all of the fittings for compressors designed for NPT threads? Thanks, Andy

Thanks for the feedback so far. I have a nice 3 hp electric motor that I would like to try with a low rpm set up for this machine. maybe shooting for that 400-500 rpm zone. It's three phase, so that will make getting a starter a bit cheaper. in the mean time, I wanted to at least fire this...

I'm having trouble with pics. This should be a link to the whole album in google photos. https://photos.app.goo.gl/2E58E1G9kDgXyOaa2

Thanks for that link. I will see if there is something that looks good there. I found some in the $70 range on Ebay, but this one from Mattblast's incredible Quincy resto thread also looks very good right now. ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004PHB5U8/?tag=atomicindus08-20) Before I get too far...

This was an absolutely awesome rebuild thread. I have no idea if the OP will see this reply, but how are things with the Quincy 2 years in? Also, does that valve between the pilot valve and the tank switch it from pressure switch control to continuous? I'm picking up an older service truck...
