Re: I bought a very old Air Compressor, Thoughts?

X2. There's nothing better than cool old machinery!!!! I also have OCD about restoring old equipment - cleaning it up and repainting it. You have a dynamite find there, and I'm jealous! I would be concerned a bit about the condition of the tank given the history of neglect. My tank is over 40 years old and am about to get it X-Rayed or professionally checked -- dunno' where yet ... but it's on my 'round tuit list.

Nothing to report on the Green Behemoth; it has been doing its job.
