This was built in the '70s by some friends of my grandpa. Has a 3/4hp GE 1725rpm motor and a 2 cylinder single stage compressor model number 102-17510 mounted atop an old piece of boomerang countertop.    To do: - modify pressure switch to include on/off and adjust to correct pressure. - add tee and coupler to other compressor My Notes: 04/29/14 I have yet to be able to find used or new air compressor tanks for this project. I have found some new ones for some crazy prices, so thats a non starter. I am thinking about ganging this to my other air compressor for the time being. When I originally got this contraption, It had an aluminum tank from many many years ago (60-70s) and I just don't feel safe using that tank. I am thinking about using several 11gal portable tanks ganged together for more storage. Even though that will make the compressor run longer I'm pretty sure this thing can run near 100% duty cycle at 110lbs. It may not fill them fast, but It should work fine. |
