I went to a estate sale with my wife just to get out of the house. I really wasnt looking for anything so I wonder around in the 4 car garage and wow found a older sanborn 22 gallon horz compressor. The plug was kinda wire nutted on the old cord and look like its been used for painting. I ask the guy running the estate sale if it worked and he said yea and it he also said it held pressure but the regulator didnt worked. So he plug it up and I flip the switch and it made a little racket because the cover for the pulleys was rubbing and I watch it build up pressure to about 80 and we turned it off. It was marked for 45 dollars but since the regulator was not working I got it for 30 dollars.
My wife and mom got a couple of things and we got it loaded with the help of the guy running the estate sale and got it home and had my son and daughter help me unload it and got it on the back porch.
I could not find a model number no where on it (sticker for model and s/n missing) so I did a little internet searching and found one just like it
and it had a model number listed so I found the parts to fix the regulator and will order the parts friday or saturday plus replace the power cord and also put the pressure relief valve back on it since whoever took it off and made it to have a dual air hose coupler.
But to fix it plus what I paid for it will be less than 100 dollars and also it oil and it is pretty dang quite so it will be in my shop :)
And it still held at 80 psi after 2 hours :)
