Binks 33-1178 AKA Quincy 214

[GLaD in TX]

Thought I would start a new thread on my quest for finding a Quincy project. Passed on the 325 that was out of price range with what seller was asking. Came across an old Binks that needs to be rescued. From research and talking with local Quincy dealer, Binks used Quincy compressors way back in the day. This appears to be equivalent to a 214 model which indicates a single stage compressor. Not totally familiar with specifications, but my goal is to set up a 60 gallon unit with single phase electric motor. Do not need alot of air for my use. Just general residential garage with automotive repair and maybe some painting projects. Plan to pick this up for $80, keep the compressor and scrap the rest. Any responses are much appreciated.

Just about like my 210. Very nice pressure oiled compressor. Very quiet. Parts are still available through Quincy.

They were called Binks lo boys, I have 2- 1 is b&s gas powered, one is electric, with a 1 1/2 hp motor 220/ 110 draws a LOT of amps @ 110 suggest you use 220. New price wasn't cheap- something in the high teens to $2k. they will last you forever.
The electric motor & compressor doesn't cycle it runs constantly

jdsac...thanks for that bit of information on it running constantly. Not what I anticipated. Looking for a unit that cycles off when it reaches pressure. So all quincy single stage compressors run constantly or this particular Quincy series model?

No- you will just have to install an on/off pressure switch simple enough and you will need it since you are converting from gas to electric -off @ --- lbs, back on @ --- lbs. just make sure that it's rated for the amp draw of the motor including start up draw

Found some general specifications on the Quincy 214 model: ......Pressure lubed Quincy model 214. Pumps fast and quiet. This pump can be used with a 1.5 to 3hp motor. Using 2 HP motor = 11.10 scfm, 100 psi, 810 rpm. Using 3 HP motor = 16.50 scfm, 100 psi, 1200 rpm.

If I had a 60 gallon tank and a 3HP motor any idea how much time it would take to get at 100psi and then cycle off. I do have a 220v 50amp outlet in my garage. Trying to figure out appropriate tank and motor size for optimal performance. I assume a 2 stage compressor would get to desired pressure quicker than a single stage.
