Thanks Mac, I'm not sure I'm savvy enough yet to fully follow your description, but I'll dig into it.

Thanks Brendan. No dice. I called them today and told me that they could have their IR manufacturing plant make me a custom one, since they don't have them any longer, and it would be around 200 days and more than I want to spend. They recommended I go get a custom one made - likely pricey...

I reached out to the local IR rep. Seems like a good guy. He stated that the pressure switch I have on my unit was "Well, far better than what IR is currently putting on their machines". He said with that hefty of a pressure switch that I will not need a separate starter if I'm using it in a...

Okay, thanks. Would you mind pointing me in the right direction to what I am going to need, because most of the ones I see are labeled for "gas"

You hit the nail on the head.

Would this work for both my check valve and unloader? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Air-Compressor-pilot-unloader-check-valve-combo-95-125-/280701845634?hash=item415b224082

Another bottle it is then

Is a release valve the same as an unloader system, cause it has this one. Edit: it's a 1984, and nothing, externally at least, looks cheaply made to me.

Thanks, yeah no check valve, just an elbow.

mg, the box on the right of the motor holds its capacitors and Motor wires. I'll get a pic later tonight

I did fill it through the "Hand Tighten Only" hole. And I did not fill it til oil was running out. So it must take more than one bottle. Thanks Zrexxer.

I came across a screaming deal on an Ingersoll-Rand 80gal T-30 2 stage compressor the other day. It was disassembled into 3 parts when I got there: pump, motor, tank. He didn't have 220 so I was unable to test the motor but the motor and pump spun freely so I took the chance. Got it home...

Perfect. Thanks

Thanks for the reply. Compressor will cost me a little over $100. And yeah, the T30 is a two stage. As to the Horse Power, keep in mind that they don't make horses like they use to. This is a huge motor. I have an original 1HP motor on a 40's 20" bandsaw, probably weighs 80lbs and will cut...

I have query for all those in the know on these old compressors. I have the opportunity to pick up an old (guessing 40's based on the motor) Ingersoll Rand T30, 80 gallon, 1HP compressor. Owner says it still runs strong but "takes longer" to pressurize. When I asked to to clarify he said...

99% sure the one of the left was made by Union. Here's the one I just finished* restoring that is identical to it - only the lock says Union. * - I still need to make a front panel.

Goodness gracious. That's awesome.

Eric, love the DP. I have a 17" floor model and a 14" bench top both from the 40's. The 17 is in need of a full overhaul, but the 14" still runs like a top. You will love that machine when it's up and running. And I totally agree about the push button. Those cutler hammer switches demand a...

Dave, I think the W/T would be a small fortune to get back into good working condition. I say part it out and help complete the other W/T out there. Maybe keep the base and make it into a DP base for your Atlas and stick it right in that corner. Speaking of which, I love the bench there. Looks...

Super rad. Great job. As for step bits - I've been using the Harbor Freight ones that come in the 3 pack, and they're great. Haven't slowed down yet, and I use them for everything that I don't need dead nuts accuracy.
