while at a yard sale today i saw a compressor setting buy the owners house. told me i could have it. it been setting out in the weather. its a 220 volt motor. it probably dont work either. i know the pulley is locked up. not sure of all the terms but im assuming its called the cylinders. so at best the only thing probably salvagable is the tank. its a sears and robuck compressor. 2 hsp 150 psi twin cylinder.

How big is the tank?

If the compressor is locked, the motor and pressure regulators, etc. may be all right. Surplus Center may have a replacement compressor for a good price.

I was given an old compressor and all it needed was a regulator and cord.
If it needs more you just take it to scrap for him.
