See pics...
No tag on the big one.
Little one looks to be 3 cylinder, Speedaire and on a ~20 gallon tank. "3hp" motor

Fernley, Nevada, about 30 miles east of Reno.
Not positive but I believe the smaller one is a Champion model CW1. 3 cylinder, 1.5 - 3HP.

In my opinion, those small Champion pumps were some of the best. Sadly, Champion sold out to Gardner-Denver a few years ago and they promptly shut down production of these models.

Not forgivable.

The larger one is also a Champion, it looks like a 15HP model, look on the motor nameplate. Good unit.

Shoot, some pics didn't load.

Big one's pump. Only label I'm seeing.
Tank is labeled 1969, pretty sure it's not the orginal pump or motor. Motor is 5hp, 480v


Little one came with my place. Some info I.found says it's a low pressure, low flow compressor used for HVAC. Like 100psi and 5 compressor. But not sure. I've never fired it up, wiring is unhooked.

With how some of you get moist over air compressor I figured someone would have a but of info.

Put them for sale at $150 each, no bites so far.

Already have a 10 cfm, 175psi 60 gallons unit, so have no use for more.
Actually was 2 other compressors left here. One I crushed, was junk and the other I gave to a friend.
