Here's the full body shot from when I got her. I hope I've been a good steward to her and she'll continue to run for another 85 years!

Just a couple more photos, for the record

10 years later and this thing is still running strong! Sadly, I think it's time to find a new owner for it. I've got a 1970's Quincy 340 that I rebuilt and no longer have space for this beautiful Kellog. She's had a few modifications to modernize safety features and I added a better intercooler...

A photo of the motor nameplate would be very helpful for providing assistance with selecting a pressure switch and/or motor starter. Otherwise if you could provide the P/N of the motor, that nameplate info could likely be source online. I looked up the Condor MDR3 on their website...

I was initially thinking that I wanted this system to use a dry storage tank, in which the air is dried before being stored in the tank instead of a wet tank where the air is dried after the tank. It seems as though this is usually done to prevent overloading the dryer during peak demand because...

I'm planning on using it between my Quincy 340 and my 120gal tank. The primary use for all this dry air is for sandblasting, powder coating and painting. Secondary uses would be powering mechanics tools, blowing stuff off, snowmaking machine, inflating tires, you know the usual compressed air uses.

Thanks! I think the salesman from IR said on the phone it was max 120F. I saw on a lot of sites they were listing max of 100F, but I think that's because it's only rated at 100CFM for 100F input. I couldn't find the specs published anywhere so I've asked the salesman to provide a spec sheeI...

Is there any downside with running an oversized cycling air dryer? I mean besides the possibility of wasted energy? I recently purchased a used Ingersoll Rand 100CFM (D170ECA100) cycling refrigerated air dryer and am planning on running it with my Quincy 340 (7.5hp so about 22cfm). I was...

In for the win! Now I'll have to consider taking them up on that discount!

Yeah now that I've thought about it more, it seems that the best option is probably a ceramic engine enamel. I found this Seymour Hi-Tech Ford Blue Engine Coating at Tacoma Screw, looks to be about the right color, made to withstand engine operating temps.

Can anyone tell me how hot their Quincy gets while running? I was hoping someone could take their infrared thermometer and get some readings off of a 325 or 340 model. I've got a Quincy Compressor QR-25 Series, model 340, ROC 31, that I'm going to tare-down, rebuild and paint. The reason I ask...

I've got it figured out, it's a Quincy Model 230. Had to look through quite a few photos to find one that looked like it. I think that the 15 that proceeds the S/N, means it's a Record of Change (ROC) 15. That also checks out with the "Model 230 Legend" file from Quincy which outlines the...

More photos...

I need help identifying this old Quincy Compressor, that I've found for sale locally. I've studied up quite a bit on Quincy's as I'm always watching for deals to come up on the classifieds, but this one has me stumped.... What I can tell from the photos. -Splash Lubricated -Single Stage...

Thanks for the heads up on the off brand garbage oil, that's probably what I got. Here is the link, let me know what you think... http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/detail/PGD0/AC18.oap?ck=Search_compressor+oil_-1_2887&keyword=compressor+oil
