JY>Whiel the old, big compressors are costly to purchase, maintenance on them 
is
JY>minimal, a check on the oil level, oil change once or twice a year, drain 
the
JY>tank of condensation and a set of belts once in a while.  The compressor in 
my
JY>shop was new in about 1957 and has had one set of piston rings installed in 
the
JY>time from then til now.  It's always on, folks come here to punp up their 
tires
JY>and I take that as an advantage to let them know that I'm here, in business 
and
JY>ready to serve them.  This was one of the reasons for the "Free Air" of 
years
JY>gone by, the filling station operator used it as an opportunity to meet new
JY>people, make new customers.


My Grandfather, Father & I all own a air compressor and hope mine last
the 40 or so years that my grandfathers has.. The neighbors love me.
Kinda funny how popular you can get when they figure out you have a
lathe and welder. Never charge them for small welding jobs or minor
lathe work figure it will come back to me 10 fold someday..
