Oh, herro wat is dis?
I've been looking for an air compressor for probably about a year. Yesterday on Craigslist, we ran across this one, and drove out to check it out. Unfortunately the guy didn't have a plug wired onto it, so we couldn't see it run. His friend plugged the bare wires into a 110v plug and it stalled and tried to turn over. It just didn't have the power to do it since it's supposed to take 220v. It's also got a box on it for 480v 3 phase, but the electrics elude me mentally, so I've got not clue how it's wired up currently. It's a monster, though, 80 gallons, a 5hp twin cylinder, belt drive (ahh quiet!), and it's supposed to do 50cfms free air at max psi, so it's more than enough to run an entire shop. The guy said it'll run 4 DA's at once!
The best part is, in the pic with the compressor and trailer, that's not even 300$ total that was paid, and their worth is well above that. In fact, including the Yota that I towed the whole setup home with, it wasn't even 3k total. (cabpatch)
