I have been offered a Coleman 80 gallon industrial compressor for free. Naturally it has issues. I'm interested in this as I've discovered spraying on finishes and my current compressor barely keeps pace w/ my HVLP conversion gun.
My bud got it free as well, the motor was shot and had been tossed to bad as the pully went with it... He's taken off the electrics and plumbing.
I would get the two stage compressor head and tank.
My first step, if I can find parts I can afford, is to get the tank tested. If it's weak, the whole deal is shot.
Assuming it's ok... I'll need to find inexpensive electrics and plumbing.
Anyone have any leads on a good source for an inexpensive motor? It came stock w/ a 5 or 6 horse 220v. I'll call Coleman monda for the specs, I'm sure it's a $250+ part and I just can't get there.
Anyway, tks for listening.
