My 1940s Kellogg is very quiet, save for when it knocked when cold due to abuse(someone ran it out of oil once and chewed up a bearing). The current 325TV compressor assembly is still nice and quiet. Here's a quick video. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAV4Z06lZUM The compressor is extremely quiet...

Re: What did you do to your garage today? Started running 1/2" type L copper pipe for my air lines. Out of almost 20 joints, there is one that leaks and must be re-done. So far i have from the tank to the old Wilkerson refrigerated air dryer and down to the new 1/2" Wilkerson regulator...

I think he's talking about the viewing port. It looks like the glass is missing from the photo. Either that or it's very clean and clear. If it is indeed missing I'd see if you can locate another one, because without that, there is no way to see your oil level. My Kellogg 325TV i just...

Was able to remove the blowoff valve the other day. I think it's original(it's the same Kellogg Blue) and it says 200 psi on it. Seems a bit high if that's the tanks rated pressure. Shouldn't the blowoff be rated under the tank pressure? Regardless it won't be run that high. 175 psi...

Your not too far from me either. Live in Shelton, work in Orange.

Not off the top of my head. I'm guessing it would be stamped on the valve somewheres? I"ll have to remove it and look tomorrow morning.

There is no plate on the tank. The only plate is right behind where the compressor sits that has the model number and serial number of the compressor on it. Nothing about pressures, but i did find this awhile back before i joined...

Welcome from another CT new guy.

Hello folks, Sorry about the overly large pictures. :o Here's a few pictures of my shop compressor in it's current state. According to the tag it says "American Brake Shoe Company Kellogg Division" Model A320A. It's an antique to say the least. I'm guessing the 1940s? This unit was...
