[Shop-talk] Air Compressors

[Doug Braun]

That last one likes like a good deal.  You definitely
want a 2-stage pump, preferably with cast iron
cylinders.

It's probably made in China, but the second one may
be, too.  In any case, it would take a hobbyist years
and years to wear out that style of 2-stage
compressor.

You might see what repair parts Sears carries for the
third one.  For example:  the reed valves, the input
air filter, and the check valve between the pump and
the tank.  (But probably the same parts are used for
several brands of compressors).

You might also see what your local Sam's Club carries.
