I just picked up an older Dayton sandblaster and am in the process of getting it up and running. New gloves, seals, glass and I will be up and running. I was going to look for glass beads for it. Any Advise from you who are a little wiser and more experienced then myself??

It's not so much that they need to be cleaned, but rather I need to remove rust. There was water in the head when I pulled it apart. more than likely they did not run it long enough to heat up the head to remove all water from it. There is rust on the valves just like on the one rebuilt on...

I understand not to blast where any seals and gaskets go but beyond that just "hot tanking" will not clean up these parts.

I tore apart the 230 and the cylinders look great. I will need to sandblast the head and the valves.. looks about like the one the guy on youtube takes apart. I was able to pick up 4 of the quincy tools on ebay.

I went to the quincy dealer and obtained a parts list for the 230 pump. I plan on taking it apart to see where I stand. If the cost is not too high I will use the 230. If not I will sell it for parts and use the QT7.5 pump. At least that is the plan for now.......

I was looking for a motor and the guy made me take the compressor too. It apears to be a curtis c90, however the intercooler got bent. I was looking for a replacement but I have not had any luck. I might part mine out and sell it off. I don't know yet. I will add pictures later. Dave

What tools would I be able to use with the 230 pump. I was thinking of getting a sandblaster. Is the 20cfm output more important than the fact that it has a max pressure of 100psi?

I took one of the unloader towers apart and it was full of "something". I think it was cutter bees. Either way I think I need to take apart and clean up the 230 pump.

I was going to use the QT7.5, but now I will have to rethink this. I am having trouble finding the manual and parts books. does anyone know which one I need for the model 230-32?

Does that mean that the 230 is a better compressor than the qt7.5?

I happened to acquire two Quincy compressor pumps. I am new to these and have been trying to find as much info on them as I can. I do not know yet if I want to use one or both or really what I want to do with them. This is what I have so far discovered. The first one is a Quincy QT7.5 Painted...
