Compressor purchase with questions

[maxmojo]

I 've been looking for a while, finally picked this up off craiglist. It all happened fast...wham-bam thank you maam... I called the seller from work at lunch and said I could swing by when I got out. The seller already had another seller on voicemail, but said he would wait until I visited before calling him back. So...I knew if I hesitated, all would be lost. Not much time for me to research this particular model.

It's a Devilbiss pump, CAW 174, 2 stage, with a 2hp Baldor motor and a 60 gallon tank. $250

My first compressor re-furbish, where is the recommended place(s) to get parts? Do I need two air intake filters for this machine?

OK - so you pulled the trigger and brought it home.

What does it do? Run, build pressure and shut off when it is supposed to?

Wired for 120V or 220V?

Have you checked or change oil?

What are you thinking of doing to it as far as a "re-furbish"? Cosmetic or does it have mechanical issues that you are aware of?

Two stage does not mean two intake filters but at least one for proper air volume is nice.

Looks cool anyway.

More info and specific questions will likely get you more responses...

That looks like a champion pump.

Check with Master Tool Repair. Don't know if they have what you need.

I havent had it up-and-running yet, I need to get a compatable plug. Looks like separate wiring for the limit switch, so I need a 220 and 110 circut?

I asked about 2 filters because the two large cylinders are connected on the 'out' side and feed the smaller (2 stage?) cylinder. Of the two larger filters, only one has a place for a filter.
