Re: 80 gallon Air Compressor - what do you think?
I would only have 1 concern, and that would be internal corrosion in the tank, especially since the unit is 50 yrs. old.
If the pump/motor went away, they can be replaced, even if you have to fab new brackets for it/them. It looks like a decent platform on the top of the tank for installing replacement parts/fabbing new brackets.
Just don't weld new stuff to the tank unless you are certified on pressure vessels.
Happen to know any NDT folks?
