Air Compressor

[Norseman70]

Anyone know anything about this air compressor?
Buddy told me from the 1950s.
It works great!
Had it up to 30 psi

I don't know about that vintage of Speedaire, but these days Speedaire is owned by Grainger. They're darn good compressors. Mine is a 20-gallon, rated for continuous duty, single phase, workhorse. Completely made in the U.S. Cast iron pump and a Dayton motor.

The only thing I'd be concerned about with one that old is if the tank has any weak spots from rust. An exploding compressor tank is no joke.

Make sure the tank isn't full of water.
