I was looking through my local craigslist and found this blast cabinet for sale. Was wondering if anyone could ID it and let me know if it's any good. Ad says its 27" long x 22" wide x 61" tall. Fan and light both work, possibly 30 gallon size but don't know for sure. Comes with the gun and hoses shown (with directions) and two bags of sand. The fiberglass has some scratches and a little bit of pitting but you can see through it just fine. Around 15 years old maybe? There really aren't any parts to replace that are specific to this blast cabinet. Other than the gun and hoses which can be any type. The gloves are actually corduroy pant legs, if you wanted to replace them they should have them at Home Depot or Harbor Freight. $85.

Any thoughts? Thanks.

Looks like a Trinco. I have one like it. You can get gloves from Rodeco Company that are meant for an Empire cabinet, for about $42 a pair. If it's like mine, it has a fine screen floor in it, which is great when you drop that tiny part, and you will. Step back one step when you open the lid, to keep grit out of your eyes.

I bought a very old "Blast & Peen" cabinet off craigslist, all the guts were shot, I went to TP Tools and bought their DIY blast cabinet kit, it came with a siphon gun, hoses and instructions to build your own. I stripped and painted the rusty old cabinet, fixed the light, new seal on the door, put on a new set of gloves, good as new.

They also sell an "Import Cabinet Retrofit Kit" so you can take the junk blaster that came with your ChiCom cabinet and replace it with good ol' American Made guts.
