Yeah, I could kick myself for not buying 3 of them :lol: I caught a sale back then and picked it up $1050 and yes, it was when they were really built well. My wife was all over me back then for buying "that much" compressor. Hell, the thing is aging better than me!

I ended up buying an older Falcon air compressor, its a 5hp, two cylinder, two stage beast. Im going to be picking it up this weekend, only downfall is I have to buy a 1 phase electric motor as this is a 3 phase. I decided after lots of research on the internet that I would buy an older American made compressor and just keep up on the maintenance rather than go the China route, I'll let you know how it works out.

Now I do remember Falcon compressors when I was younger. Never heard anything bad about them. That's not bad replacing a motor... and that is a substantial compressor. Should make plenty of air for your situation.
