Re: 80 gallon Air Compressor - what do you think?
I just looked up a few websites and Keystone compressors has been out of business for awhile! But this beast has run for a half a century so it should give me a few more years huh?
Old and ugly is right, like something out of Dr. Frankenstein's lab! 1. It runs 2. It blows a LOTTT of air 3. $200

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?
