So I got this compressor yesterday.
View media item 70664Best I can calculate the tank is around 16.5 gallons, motor is 1/2 hp, I timed it on a fill and it seems to make 1.9 cfm which is about right for that power.
Pump is a Model A, I haven't really been able to find out much about it from a quick search of the net, anyone know anything about these pumps?
Its dated 1970 on the tank, everything looks original on it, it seems to run pretty slow, I'm wondering if I could put a bigger motor on and speed it up a bit, its set to 114 psi or so and cuts on at just a touch under 100.
