Cool compressor on Ebay

Now this would be cool to own.
Although you might have to sell a couple of kits to buy the oil for it. Laugh [(-D]

Don't drool too much over it 1337. Tongue [:P]

I can only imagine what shipping would cost on that beast.
It weighs 185 pounds. [:0]

That's like the one we have and use at work, except for the wheels. We've had it for about 5 years running with no problem at all. I love that compressor and want it at home, but I'm not about to be able to come up with the money for one.

I hear you Josh.
I asked my dentist about his compressor one time also. Big Smile [:D]
He said it was real quiet but it was something like $2000 or more.

One that big would be cool for running a small touch-up gun also as it might be enough power to run one of the smaller ones. With the price though you could buy several at Sears that would handle the job with no problems.
When I get some extra money I am going to sell my Sears 1.5 hp 12 gal tank compressor and buy this baby:


That is a 6 hp, 25 gal tank belt-driven oil filled compressor.
Time for a "Tim the Toolman" grunt.... More power!
I could run a HVLP spraygun with this one no problem and it is fairly quiet for an industrial compressor.

When my tax money comes in, I've allocated a bit of it to getting a new compressor. One with a tank, hopefully one that won't overheat on me.

We've got a compressor/tank laying in our junk pile at work. Was removed from a maintenance building that was undergoing remodeling and was operating when removed. Two cylinder, two stage compressor w/25 hp 3 phase motor and 150 gal horizontal tank, pressure tested 6 months ago. Data plate says it puts out 45 CFM at 175 PSI.
Heard the other day they were thinking about offering it to the employees in a silent auction. Think I'll put in a $100 bid just for the heck of it (the tank is worth more than that) and if I get it see if I can find a motor that is big enough to operate it that uses single phase. Or give it to my youngest son who is setting up an automotive restoration shop and let him worry about it.
