Re: shop compressor
How old is the tank? (does it have a build tag on it?)

Re: shop compressor
Tank was built in 1978 according to the tag. It is in very good shape and didn't seem rusty at all. I think it was set up with an automatic drain before I got it. It has only had light use since, I don't use air tools much I guess.
The tag also says it is only 80 gal.

What are the dimensions? L x W x H
Re: shop compressor
It is approximately 60" long, tank is 20" diameter, maybe 5 feet high.
Jeff, if you plug it into two outlets you get 220v, right?

Re: shop compressor
Those converters aren't very efficient,especially on an old motor with magnetic starters. You could replace the 220v motor with a 110v modern one,but the amperage required will be beyond most existing 110v circuits,and the air output would be less (with greater electricity usage)

Re: shop compressor
That is a pretty good deal for a shop compressor. I just picked up a used vertical 80 gallon for $400 a few months ago, but this one looks to have a much better compressor and motor on it. If I had a place to store it until I am done building my barn I'd come grab it so I could have one in the new barn and one in the main house!
