Air Compressor Parts Supplier Recommendation

[Tinker Man]

I'm in the process of rebuilding 2 late 50's Quincy air compressors. I have found a really good parts supplier for Quincy parts. I'm passing this along because most of us like to get new quality parts at reasonable prices.

Long story short, try CompressorPartsStore.com

Example pricing in my case was parts for a 325 ROC 7 1958 compressor

new 2.5 inch piston CPS price was 95.00 for steel piston
my local dealer price was 384.00
new 4.5 inch piston CPS price was 105.00 for aluminum piston
my local dealer price was 424.00 (note the compressor is set up at factory with steel on high pressure piston and aluminum on the low pressure piston.

2.5 inch HP piston weight 21.5 oz 4.5 inch LP piston weight 24.5 oz. I suspect if the LP piston was steel it would be extra heavy and not balance as closely.

Anyway this is my story and I'm sticking to it. This is a great dealer to do business with. I hope everyone looking for parts has as great of success as I did. I'm smiling because I love to save money on quality parts; and it's great to be alive at 70.

Hat tip and top of the day to all. Ken

As long as you understand that you are not buying genuine Quincy parts and are happy with the results then you did well.

Let us know if the parts work out (fit, finish) and hold up. There's nothing wrong with saving $ and getting quality parts.
