    [​IMG] IMG_0295.JPG My shop compress crashed just when I'll be needing it, ordered the part from Sears 3 days turned into 8 days & the dam part was faulty!!
    Searching for a replacement with the same specs or higher turned up one from Lowes a 60gal/150 psi 230 volt unit with double the SMC specs. Got in place & wired up yesterday with a good friends help & more than a few beers!

    Looks good, should work out well for you. I just can't stand the springy hoses.

    Looks very nice looking. I need to buy 1 myself. How quite is it when it runs? Do you model number. I'd like to look up the specs.

    $499, saw it list for $799, need to get regulator & water filter does not come with, I also changed the bottom drain, a 1/4'' 90, 5'' of 1/4 pipe & a ball cock valve so easier to drain. I'm going to add a length of hose to the intake tube & run it through the wall to outside & use a small air vent cover so doesn't pull water in!
    It is way quieter than my old compress!! 230 volt!!
