How much for a DeVilbiss Pro Air II?
I recently saw a DeVilbiss Pro Air II, 6.5 HP, 80 gallon, 175 psi, two-stage vertical air compressor
Coleman Powermate Black Max 6hp 155psi 21gallon 2003? In Austin, Tx. Whats this worth? Very low hours, professionally maintained by Fleet Maintenance Of Texas while in service – until replaced and put in storage for years. Almost new condition, works great. Fast, strong, quiet, just installed new filter/regulator/oiler. (BTW, I paid $20 – without FRL)
Thank you for your time!
Air King Midwest Compressor Company, Chicago, Illinois. I purchased this at auction recently for next to nothing and it runs well and holds pressure at 94 psi however it has a very old and relatively minor cork gasket leak. Using the compressor to blow off the oily grit revealed a gorgeous metallic blue color that makes me want to restore it but I can’t seem to find any data on it?! I was wondering if you knew anything about it? Thanks!
Trying to figure out what this compressor is I got it for free. had a 10 hp motor running it
Is this worth anything once cleaned up please
Anyone know about this one? Has “AIRFLOW”” across the top. The only other markings are “Crown Spray Gun MFG Co Los Angeles Ca. Made in USA”
I just recently came into a very nice, well maintained compressor, from what I can tell on the plate it is from 1972 made by Brunner Eng& Mfg Co out of Bedford, Indiana. I found the serial number of 5125, I’m guessing it is a 30 gal tank, I’m needing some help on some info on it, it has had wheels put on the feet, but still have the mounting brackets for floor installation. I am going to post pics of both sides and identification plate. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the help.
What is the value of a 1983 national bd air compressor?
1966 Gilbarco air compressor. Located in Buffalo NY. I do not think it has ever been used. A friend turned the wheel and said it still has compression. Just wondering what it might be worth. I realize its only worth what someone is willing to pay. I know nothing about air compressors so i don’t know where to begin. I do know there are collectors of old tools but not sure if this would qualify. Plus its way to big for E-bay. Any help would be appreciated.
