Since I moved I don't have three phase power available, so was looking for a new motor for my air compressor. A new motor was over $300, so I picked this up instead. Wink

Nice find!

make my little 36gal/6hp look like a kiddie toy.

Yeah, was totally amazed to get it for that price. It's a 2 stage and was dumfounded at the specs. 15.3 CFM at 175 PSI. WOW. I used auction sniper and had a cap of $500 for my bid. New these are around $1300.

Now I just have to drive to Hood River to get it in my 8 mpg pickup Sad

Oh well................got a good compressor though. Should run anything I'll ever need while working on the "maro" and the 55. Not to mention the "69" wink:

Anyone want to buy a 60 gal air compressor with a 3 phase motor on it????? I don't really need it anymore Very Happy

If I could actualy use it I would.... Wink

I have to turn of ALL the lights in my house, to even run the compressor I have, and its only a 110v, I don't have 220v in the garage. Sad

hmmm was '69' a veiled reference to a previously unmentioned project or a veiled reference to an act that we don't want to know any more about?

Very Happy

So Dan, hows the new equipment working?

alloy · Posted: Mon Jun 13, 2005 9:34 am Post subject:

It's still in the back of my pickup. I've been working so many hours I've not even had a chance to unload it yet. Had only one day off last week, and that was taken up with going to get the compressor. And.......not to mentions it's HEAVY!!!! I'll need help getting it into my storage room where I plan on putting it. So for now..............it sits waiting for my kids to come over and help. But at least I have it here now and am very pleased with my $265.66 purchase Very Happy

Now I'd like to find a large sandblasting/bead blasting cabinet for a nice cheap price like I did the compressor. I've got lots of 55 parts to clean!!!! Then there is the 69 to work on..............and no that's not some kind of weird position Mike Razz

hehe, if you get a sandblasting cab, some Wink

crewbies may bug you to let us...err... i mean, them.... use it. Wink

Hmmm..............them huh?? And who might "them" be Pokey pokey

Actually I have one I made years ago, but it wasn't very efficient. I think I need to buy a commercially made pickup tube for it.

If only I had room for one in my little garage. Sad

a medium sized cabnet doesn't look to be that expensive.
