John, Stay away from oil less compressors, way too noisy. You cannot work in the same room with out hearing protection. Fenton ----- Original Message ----- From: John Ross To: Pianotech List Sent: Sunday, February 22, 2009 7:43 AM Subject: [pianotech] Air compressor recommendations My 17 gallon Imperial, 220v, belt drive compressor has seized up. I bought it in the late 70's, so I don't think fixing it would be worth while. I am semi-retired now (71), so a super duper one doesn't really make sense. What are the recommendations 220V/110/, belt/direct drive, oil/oil less. It is just general shop use sand blaster, paint application etc. I guess quieter would be a plus, as I don't want to bother with a remote building for it. My workshop is just an 18'x24' heated garage. John Ross -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
