I just acquired a Quincy compressor that is missing an ID tag. It has a 200 gal tank, 15hp motor and 6904 in the pump casting. Looking at previous threads with the same 6904, and one currently on Ebay, none have the ID tag- perhaps just a coincidence. Do I need to measure the bore size for a definitive answer, or, does the larger tank and motor place it as a 370?
The compressor was running when I removed it so I know there are not any major issues. Even though the oil looks very clean, I would be surprised if it has ever had much maintenance. Beyond an oil change, what would you recommend? It was cheap enough that I don't mind spending money on whatever it might need, but, don't want to spend the time on work that is not necessary.
It also came with a Hankinson 50 CFM air dryer. I've never used a mechanical dryer- Do they consume much power- ie do they run only when the compressor is running? Thanks for your help.
