Good question. My Grandaddy had this compressor for years, and I have no idea where he may have gotten the knob on it. I still haven't tested this thing because I'm scared it might rupture.
Finally got pictures tonight... And you can see when I drained the tank how much water was in it by the trail in my driveway! Sorry the picture isn't clearer.

Goodness sakes... After reading the post of the exploded compressor I will be really wary of this one... But I will try to get pictures of mine here. I plan to go deer hunting with my Dad this afternoon (I picked the meat from last week's shot yesterday - hope my Dad gets one today!), but I will...
Nice compressor! Mine is beige but fairly similar to what you have. Funny that you had to build that platform! Grandaddy must have pulled this one often because the tires are worn.
My Aunt just gave me my Grandaddy's older Sears compressor, a model 919.176210 1 HP with 12 gallon tank. It's been sitting probably 10 years or so in a house that isn't heated or cooled, but it's been out of the elements so it's in good shape for a 20+ year old or so compressor.
I haven't tried...
