Hi All. I have a nice old ZERO cabinet with original BNP siphon gun. It has been working well, but recently deteriorated quickly.. no media being draw. When through whole thing, checking for obstructions, moisture etc. its fine. blew out all lines. works if I put sand in the media feed tube...

Hello - I have a beautiful Quincy QR 325 which I was lucky to find.. Nice and quiet, built like a tank. It only has 3HP right now, and doesn't have sufficient airflow to consistently run my blast cabinet at 80+ PSI. I was looking to upgrade it to 5HP, which would get me about 18+ CFM and run...

Alright, we will check the gauge. It was bouncing a bit, so maybe it was low. Also, after the tank fills and shuts off, there is a 1-2 second delay, then pressure is released from the oil pump housing, followed by the valve on the top of the second stage head.. is this normal? sounds like...

Hi all. Just bought a new rig for my shop, and so far I love it. Ultra-quiet with respect to every other compressor I have heard. Its on an 80 gal horizontal tank with a 3hp new Baldor motor. All seems to work well, but the oil pressure seems to be low when its running. I can't see where...

I am going with the used Quincy 325 unit. I found out I do NOT have 3 phase power from what my friend told me. After looking today, its 2x 120v and a singe 208v post coming in. Rules out the IR. But the seller on the Quincy 325 said he would sell me the unit for 1k, and install a brand new...

Thanks for all of the advice, guys. I just found this unit available. I cant find the exact specs on it.. just for the pump. seems low on HB for such a HUGE unit, but the seller claims this unit cost 4500 new? Pump is rated at 8.3-18.64 ACFM @ 175 PSI... but doesnt give a specific for 3.5HP...

Yes I have 3-phase. Although I don't fully understand the benefit of that for this application. 2-3 techs max.. just running air wrenches and may add tire mount/balance down the line. Don't have a dryer.

Thanks Bill. I am considering making an offer on this one.. down the street from me. Seems to be a T30 as you suggested. http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/tls/3824377475.html

So.. older are more stout in design? or just cheaper? Thanks for help

Any recommendation on brands?

Hey all. I am adding a service bay to my small auto dealership. I have been agonizing over what type of compressor to get (read: how much to spend). I have decided that it should be a 2-stage unit, 60-80 gals. Will be using it for air tools typical for an automotive garage. 2 lifts at the...
