Hello fellow G.J. members I'm hoping some of you seasoned folk could give me some well appreciated advice on a compressor I just acquired. I'm not a total newb when it comes to compressors. I've used them before and I own a small 3 gal craftsman model but this is my first time owning a small/mid size compressor and I'd like to hear some set up suggestions or opinions.
So here is the back story to how I got the compressor
A while back of I bought the Hausfeld 5 piece nailer kit that posted on the Hot deals thread. Soon after I bought the Craftsman 3 gallon compressor thinking it might work for the time being for the smaller finish/pin nailers I bought it on impulse because I needed it to finish some laminate flooring and base boards. I knew i'd have to buy a bigger compressor to accommodate the framing nailer and my other pneumatic tools eventually but I just didn't have the funds to do so I held of for a bit.
Well the other day I was at my uncles house I noticed he

I knew i'd have to buy a bigger compressor to accommodate the framing nailer and my pneumatic tools eventually but I just didn't have the funds to do so I held of for a bit. Well the other day I was at my uncles house I noticed he had a 20 gal Campbell Hausfeld in his back yard near his shed that looks like it had not been used in a while. I worked out a barter with my cousin where I would swap him some car audio stuff and install it for him and in turn he would work out price for the compressor with his dad a pay him for it. It worked out pretty well for all 3 of us.I got rid of some car audio stuff that was taking space in the garage, my cousin got a screaming deal and my uncle got some cash.
So here are some of my questions. The compressor's been sitting for a while.What if any tune up can I give it? One gauge's's glass cover is broken and the one of the wheels needs to be replaced.Can anyone recommend an accurate gauge brand? I already bought a Good year 50 ft air hose from Amazone I should probably get an air separator and oiler since I plan on getting a spray gun sometime soon.

I already bought a Good year 50 ft air hose from Amazone I should probably get an air separator since I plan on getting a spray gun sometime soon.That way I can help avoid fish eyes when painting. I also wanna get an inline oiler to help lube my tools . Any in expensive effective brand recommendations for these accessories? oh and lastly, I'm missing the intake air filter before I get one should I get a filter/muffler combo or should I mode something?
