Too funny. While I'm still setting up my new (old) Campbell Hausfeld, I needed a bit of air in a tractor tire. I fired up my standby little 10 Gal Ingersoll-Rand, finished filling a tire, then a rust hole blew out in the bottom. That's about exactly 12 hours after the new one was operational...

ChristopherLutz, thanks. I took it apart to get it downstairs. Back working nicely. It was set to 185 (supposed to be 175). Only lost 5 psi after 12 hours. I think it was leaking out the drain-**** as there are a few drops. I hate those *****, I think I'll swap it out for a nice mini ball...

Due to the quick response on my other post, I decided to pass on that old Quincy (with the US Air pump). My awesome wife then looked through some estate sale ads and found me a great compressor. It's a 1979 Campbell Hausfeld, 5HP, 2-stage, 80 gal. They still sell almost the exact model today...

You (and this forum in general) are AMAZING. I was thinking of buying the unit to restore. ***** that it not a complete Quincy from top to bottom. Thanks.

Anyone recognize this 2-stage compressor? Tank says Quincy. Not sure what the pump is. Found old ads with a similar looking tank from 1929 (but compressor is different).
