So i picked up yet another compressor, with some kit that i actually wanted.
I dont even really want another compressor. Im only domestic, and aready have 2x 14cfm units.
And now i spot this -
It would be a simple enough job to take off the whole regulator (since when did compressors have built in regulators anyhow?) and replace with a little stainless cross (in, gauge, switch, and out) but its at that price point where im not even sure....
I think theyre about £90 brand new. So, say, £50 used. Then probably 8-10 on stainless bits from china takes me to £40. When i dont even want another compressor anyway, live in a building site, and have enough projects to last me till well after im dead!
I guess the smart move would be to flog it on for pocket change (no this isnt a for sale post, else id have put it in the other forum) but just me complaining that the compressor ive been stepping over for the past fortnight isnt actually even usable... : (
Are these worth fixing? From what ive seen, in dubious anyway, but i guess they may be amazing in some other way?
