Curtis Air compressors

[Hammell]

I just acquired a used oil pump, belt driven electric, 20/25 gallon Curtis air compressor, Can anyone tell me anything about their quality or experience with them?.

This model is older (approx. 20 years old) and I cant seem to fine any info on the cfm, anyway to find out how to find out? Runs my 1/2 impact fine.

Curtis is quality brand compressor. Likely it's a great mid-size compressor and last you many years.

However, with such vague information, there's not much anyone on GJ can help you with since you've NOT POSTED ANY PICTURES !! Post pictures of compressor, motor, tank, electric plate on motor, plate on tank, etc.

Curtis is still in business, or was a year ago when I ordered parts and spoke to someone in their repair department. Did you Google them? That's how I found them. Parts are not available directly, meaning you have to go through a dealer, translated are not cheap.
