Interesting side light to the Vibrator comments... I been running one of My
Vibrators on Air... and one on an electrical motor... The Air one has
provided Multipul Compressor heads for the Electric one.... Finally bought a
couple of Two Stage units.... one of them from Coleman... and the Real point
of the E-mail is just how good thier Warranty Program is.. it's got a Three
Year warranty and I didn't check before I bought it... but I sure am glad
they do cause I use it so much that the things wear out within a Year...
they have been out and fixed it Three times now.... I figure at the end of
the warranty I will Pitch it in the trash can first time it breaks and buy
me another just like it.... I could buck up and buy the Real Deal Champion
for 3500 or I could go along like this for the next 20 years for less....
Just a Note to check out what your buying ...
Keith ( whose Motor parts seem to have less of a Warranty)
