A friend of mine called me about an old craftsman compressor on CL for $30 earlier today. Needless to say I was at the guy's house before I got off the phone. It had oil that may or may not have ever been changed (certainly was very dirty), and a small leak in one of the fittings.
Mysteriously at some point the fitting reseated itself properly and now there's a TINY leak on either side of the water trap. I now have a 1HP, oiled compressor to drive the air tools I bought and I paid only $30. I'm a very happy 914 owner right now.

Nice deal.
That's a rather interesting setup; it looks like Sears was using Fairchild regulators back then. They are really nice even today. I too wouldn't mess with the relief. |
