I picked this up in a job lot at auction.
1976 Jun air model 6 with an 15 litre tank.
It seems to be in good working order.
Any idea what the value would be?

I have a united states air compressor company of Cleveland Ohio that has been passed down all the way from my great grandfather. I still have the original motor but needs to be rebuilt, the compressor still works but it is slow (maybe rings?). I would like to restore it and if anyone knows where/how to find any parts it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi, we have a 1989 Westinghouse, 60 gallon, 5 hp, single phase compressor, great condition, low usage/hours. This works perfectly. My boss has recently downsized and this was in his home workshop. I will be selling it for him and am hoping to find out what it is worth. We are storing it now at our office in Austin, TX. Help and comments are much appreciated!

Hi All,

This is a 1943 Ingersoll-Rand Model 6R50. The plate shows Corps of engineers U.S. Army Airborne Equipment. Weight is 725lbs and capacity is 55cu.ft/min. This was my fathers and ran 15 years ago before it was put into storage. Tires still hold air and have the original air hose as well. I can’t find anything about it or anything similar on Google. Any ideas on what we should ask for it would be greatly appreciated. Located in Illinois Thank you!

Hello. I know nothing about compressors, parts or even tools. I inherited this old compressor from my Father in law in a shed. He always called it a 1 Lunger. It runs great. Wired for 50 amps. Motor is a Craftsmen. Want to sell in the Seattle area, don’t even know how to describe it or what the fair value is. It’s worthless to me. Any help out there? please (post) if you have any info you can share. I would really appreciate it!……………ck

Quincy Airmaster Compressor model 131A20PN3
Live in Seattle area.
Bought this about 22 years ago. Works great, is on in my conditioned shop all the time. I don’t use it much, just to blow off things and air up tires every once in a while. I have changed the oil as required.

Not sure what to tell customers about my air compressor. Is there anything anybody can tell me what they might know about it? John wood company. 1969? Someone asked me what the CFM was (cubic feet per minute) I could answer that. I was told it might be about 100 gallons. How much is it worth?

I have a champion porta champ 1969 air compressor. It has a 2 belt drive. Not sure on the tank size, but everything on it is still available from champion except for the tank. It runs just like it should, I still use it. I keep the oil changed and the tank empty when necessary.

This was left in my garage by previous home owners. I have no idea of it’s age or worth. It does work and it seems rather clean for its age as I can’t find anything online about a compressor with a Westinghouse motor. Any info would be greatly appreciated. I have no idea what the model is or how to know how many gallons the tank is. I am in Smithfield, VA. I’m not necessarily looking to sell it but would definitely like to know all of its details. I haven’t found much by googling. Thank you!!

Hi! I’m wondering what this old compressor might fetch. It looks like a 1979 Webster and has been in service at a fire hall maintaining the air brake tanks on the trucks as they sat in the hall. It is just outside of Calgary, Ab.

I have had this compressor in our shed for about 50 years. I was told it was used in my great-grandfather’s bar. It looks like my Dad might have fixed the wiring at some point. I can’t find much, if any, info about Smith’s Air Compressors online. Any and all thoughts about its age and worth are much appreciated!
Thanks! Mike from Minnesota

I would like to know what this old Gilbarco air compressor is worth. It was used for over 40 years at a service /gas station and still runs fine. I installed new belts on it some years ago. I had an electric motor specialist check the electric motor last year and he did not find any problems. The motor is 3 HP, 115/230 V, 33.2 A General Electric.; working pressure is 145 -175 psi.

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!

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.

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.
