That unit looks identical to mine.

The current part number for the Harbor Freight Powder Coating System
no longer matches the number cited in Fred's e-mail from 2000 (#42802).
No doubt, Harbor Freight has changed their part numbers, prices, and
perhaps the equipment itself, that Fred was referring-to since he wrote
that e-mail, 15 years ago. Perhaps someone on the list can tell us if they
have the system Fred was referring-to or if it's the same as the one here:

Subject: powder-coat
Listers, anyone thinking of doing P/C and have not purchased a kit yet, you
should check out the kit from Harbour-Freight (99.00), much more sturdier
and heavier built than Eastwoods, several added features the other kit does
not have, such as, foot feed instead of a handle held electric charge to th=
e
coated part, this leaves you with a free hand, 2 seperate air control vavle=
s
for more even air flow, gravity feed over head cup container, instead of ai=
r
pushing the powder out, and a much heavier transformer supply box, nice
unit, I received mine today, try it tomorrow. If you have any interest, you
can check it out on their web page item # 42802 @ www.harbourfreight.com<h=
