amazingkevin Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 i asked my cabinet making friend what he wants for his old, but new looking air tank that's a stand up unit.He tells me take it so i will. i'll connect a refrigerator compressor to it on top and have silent air and won't upset the neighbors with all the racket they make.I have 4 air compressors that all work but the shut off regulators are no good on two of them .I hate the noise they make .Use a nail gun a couple of shots and here's the noise again.I have another friend that is throwing out his working ice machine that sits out side of a gas station .but have to wait to get it .It's a big compressor and 110 volt .I had to wait to get the two cylinder air compressor form the pay air machine as they got a new one.So two months later i own that one And i mounted it on a air tank that had a compressor that only pumped up a little air so i took off the old one and replaced it with the dual cylinder one,but it hammar,s too, to much noise.So i plug it in wait till it builds up and unplug it.

Sparkey Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 I have an oil-less air compressor and they are very loud. The next one I get will take oil. Sounds like you got some great deals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryEA Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Mr. Handy Kevin. You are an inspiration to anyone. Do you have a motto? "Don't throw it out Mate, call Kevin to evaluate" You are able to fix or modify for some use most any item. Good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
