Thanks all, the knowledge commons prevail again. I will go check it out and likely drag it home.

Hello, A friend recently bought a house with his first garage, and I am planning to get him a used Quincy compressor. I found an appropriate one, looks to be about a 215 with a 1.5hp motor. However when looking at the pictures the motor is wired straight through the pressure switch as opposed...
