Trying to find what type of compressor this is please help
Can anyone identify this compressor? The tank was made by Buckeye Boiler in 1959. No name on the compressor but has theses numbers: one tag reads “When ordering parts give this number” R-15A87A. On the block of the compressor has these numbers
M-1820 below that is a G with a circle around it and below that is 122077 V. I knocked some of the rust off and the compressor looks like it was a blue- green color at one time.
Any ideas about this compressor?
Please help me identify this compressor. It seems to be a twin piston single stage. Correct me if I’m wrong. The only two numbers I can find on it are R50043-2 and A50169 which are located near the outlet. I believe the original color is a pale green. It seems to have been painted over with red.
Can you tell me anything about this compressor? James, the thread for this posting has been relocated to here. Folks, please add additional comments on the new page. Thanks.
