okay uploaded some pictures but I still need what the rest says on there. thanks a bunch.

I have a champion air compressor and getting factory stickers is a pita. Does anyone have a complete set they could sell me or have it on a pdf file so I can go to a printing shop to print it up? Or if someone could take pictures of their stickers so I know what it says on there or just type...

This is why I am a member of this great forum. You guys know your stuff! Thank you.

Found a bel air 80 gallon compressor on craigs. Wondering if this could be wired for single phase use for a home garage as the current motor on the compressor is wired for 3 phase use. Compressor motor says 208 - 230/460 Three phase. See attached picture Thanks

I'm gonna end up taking some classes at the local community college and get my electricians license at the end of the program. This house is all funky! Always thought plastic boxes were blue. I learn something everyday.

So you're saying the ground could be still somewhere behind the box as in just the wire hanging loose?

Thanks for all the replies. This is truly a great forum. update: Sorry for the late response. I was doing other things around this place like fixing the plaster board that had water damage in the dining room area then repainting the dining room and putting up new blinds and between that I had...

Oh man I don't want to cut out the drywall :(

I will do that with a volt meter tomorrow. its almost 1am here in socal. thanks!

window a/c unit and my laptop running from two different locations. Been using the 3 prong to 2 prong adapter. It seems I'll be replacing all of them with gfci's.

so based on what this guy said, get my neutral wire (white) and plug it into the ground on the gfci. why would he say that? majority of information out there says to Connect the white wire to the silver colored "Line" terminal screw. which statement is correct from the two above?

I'm in for a cornwell tool.

This is GOLD!!!

yeah the picture on the website isn't what is at the store. They fall apart all the time and it is lifetime warranty so I ended up getting a 12mm replaced. What to do is get some duct tape and wrap it around the base where the spring is located like maybe 2-3 wraps and it should hold together...
