I just brought home this wheeled, portable, approx. 20 gallon, gas powered, "BINKS" compressor. Yeah, the paint gun people. It has a HUGE compressor pump on it, and a cast iron 8-9ish HP Briggs engine on it, yeah its old. And heavy. It has a pulley on the flywheel, with 2 notches, wrap the rope on the pulley (catch the knot on the end in a notch, 1st) give it a rip and away it goes... yeah it runs, after a cleaning of the points and a regap.
I still need to get a kit for the carb as the needle and seat doesn't seat any more.
No big deal. easy fix there. readily available. already found the kit PN, all over online.
Anyways, this thing looks funny as the engine and compressor pump look "too big" for the tank. Yeah it's factory, not some cobble job. Decent paint, and all components match for color and such.
When I got the engine going, I removed the drive belts, so I haven't seen the compressor do anything yet/ besides be a stand of sorts, to get the engine going.
It has ID tags all over, besides the engine, there is one on the engine mounting plate that says "Binks MFG", with a 3-1173 stamped above that.
doesn't ID that number on the tag, as a model, serial, build date, anything.
Going by the tank certs, that tells various thicknesses of the end caps and barrel portion, that it tested at 200 PSI at up to 650*F. and year built 1972. Then on the compressor itself, it has another tag, says model 33526 serial 216-39 and another number below that, again with no ID as to what this number means. This number is 790-732S
Underneath THAT is "Binks MFG Chicago ILL, Toronto, CAN".
Yet, on what I think is the unloader valve, now that is stamped "Quincy compressor Co." The compressor is a single stage, and certainly does look Quincy-ish. I could see a company like Quincy making compressors and selling them under other company's name. The engine also shows a build date ("CODE" part, of Briggs model number) of 1972. I don't believe this compressor was used much, if at all/ in all of those years. It had been sitting in a shed that I know of, untouched for at least 5 years/ probably a whole lot longer than that, before I came around.
Can anyone ID this unit, and tell me the rated output, how many CFM at how many PSI? and any other info that I could use to order parts if/when the need ever came up?
