My New (to me) Air Compressor!

[mikajo39]

Last Friday in autoshop, I noticed an old aircompressor sitting around in the shop. I ask my teacher what it was here for and he said it's just old, works fine, and it's FREE! So I took him up on his offer right away. We loaded it up in the chevy after school and took it home. It's slow, covered in garage grease, but it's super quiet. The motor is an old old old Wagner electric company Induction repulsion 1/2 hp motor and the compressor is an old Speedaire. The tank is a 15 gallon or so and it's from 1931 and is about as solid as a rock. I'm gonna clean it up and take goood care of it.
