What Do You Think..????

[Raw Bone]

The regulator shut-off switch on my old 230 volt Campbell Hausfeld 4hp oil-less 30 gal. has died and I contacted them about replacing it. I was told that a new one would be about $75-80 plus shipping. I hate to put money into it since it really isn't big enough for what I need in the new shop. And it is noisy as hell. So I’m going to replace it tomorrow with this one. I think this one will probably meet my needs. HF has a 7hp, with 80 gallon, two stage but they want $1399 and I really don't think it will give me that much more service especially for the extra money.

That's a GREAT price for a 240V 2 stage 60 gal machine.

Hey Raw Bone,
If you are going to unload the old one on C.L. or something, I may have a good used switch for ya.
I replaced it cause I got the compressor used, had a new switch, and I know those guys fail.
Let me know, it's easier to sell when it runs.
(It's the one sitting on top of the motor)
