OK what about a pressure lubed 5hp Quincy for $650? It's also a ways away so owner is sending a video of it running along with pump model number. Anyone recognize the pump?

Yeah I know all that and I have been really set on a low RPM thumper but seller has asked for $500 including a working Speedaire 20CFM refrig/dryer. Seems like a good deal at that price but I should probably just stay patient and wait for the right unit to come along and pull the trigger when it...

Speedaire unit seems to be gone now too (seller has gone silent.) Anyone know this unit from around 1999 or so? From what I can tell Superior Air was Quincy's consumer line. Can't find any information about the pump used, it's showing a model number of MQTSV and is a single stage 5HP unit...

Oh man this is turning into quite a saga. I called the shop to confirm my pickup of the Curtis and was told that their SnapOn driver offered $500 yesterday on behalf of another customer and picked it up an hour later. "Sorry" So now I'm back to the small Curtis and the Speedaire. My head is...

On another note I've agreed to pick up the Curtis unit tomorrow morning, paying $250 for it. Now just gotta figure out how to make an 80 gallon monster work in my garage lol.

Oh and one other tip, if you see ANY sign of body corrosion walk away. The 928 has aluminum body panels and corrosion only occurs if they are exposed to extreme elements for long periods of time. This is not like the early 911 market where you take what you can get, too many really nice examples...

That's more Chevy than 928 at this point, some of the conversions are pretty cool but I would say you are better off finding a properly sorted example with the original powerplant. Good news is that there are lots of very clean Texas cars and tons of local support which isn't the case in every...

It's an 85 928s, first year of the 32 valve engine with the old body style, which is the best combo IMO. I purchased it in 2006 with 55k miles for the princely sum of $6k and it now has 135k. I haven't really tracked it, and it's designed as more of a GT cruiser than a track beast anyway. You...

Here's a pic, forum acting stupid with images lately as there was on the prior post originally.

OK, I went to look a the Curtis unit with the small tank and I think it would work perfectly based on its footprint, however it is detuned via a 3HP motor so SCFM is probably in the 10-11 range at 125 psi, certainly enough for most tasks. We actually tested it with both an angle grinder and D/A...

I went to see the T30 today and got there as it was being loaded up, missed it by an hour.

I will say that I saw a Speedaire unit with a monster American Kellog pump that was VERY loud and only running at 800 rpm. Something did seem off about the way it was running, like the flywheel was unbalanced and causing a ton of vibration that really resonated but I had no frame of reference...

Does that mean yes kinda loud or I CAN'T HEAR YOU loud?

I'm in Northern California and yes these are all 1PH. How loud is the Speedaire unit? It shows up in searches for replacement parts as a CH pump, is that correct?

It's a Model 242, lot's of rebuild info on the net and looks easy enough. Is the box next to the motor a magnetic starter?

I don't need constant duty sandblasting CFM, but believe I will occasionally need low teens CFM @90psi for 15-30 minutes at a time. It is going into a smallish residential garage so noise is a factor, I'm hoping for a unit that is at least no louder than a big box unit running at 3400 rpm but...

I've made contact with the T30 owner and will be seeing it later today. If it checks out ok I'll probably pull the trigger on it, I think I can get it for $300 or so and will get it cleaned up and repainted before putting it into service. I don't think I can go too wrong at that price, any T30...

Oh and this one just got posted a few hours ago. I have no details other than it appears to be and 80 Gallon IR T30 running a 5hp Single Phase motor. Asking price is $400 obo. Intriguing. Are these older T30's obnoxiously loud for home use?

After garage organization was tackled via repurposed Craigslist office storage cabinets the next thing on the list is a decent compressor. My needs are fairly basic, light auto work (mostly on my 85 Porsche 928) including some paint and associated sanding/wire wheel stuff. I have been using an...

I shot my Craigslist cabinets with Rustoleum thinned 2:1 with Acetone and with .25 part of Valspar Enamel Hardener added. I used the $100 HF HVLP airless unit and it came out pretty good after figuring out the proper gun adjustments and thinning ratios. I initially tried foam rollers with...
