That piece looks pretty darn familiar Brian. I'll have to double check whats in Dads shop and see if were compressor brothers.

Snuck in a couple hours today and put the compressor back together, rewired, and finished cleaning up. It is working like a top now (aside from a valve that is leaking and needs replacement.

I went through a LOT of brake cleaner on this thing and since my basement lab is under the kitchen, my wife wasn't loving me. :D

Free is my favorite price - for anything. Great score. I have painted a LOT of cars with a VERY similar appearing Sears before I got a bigger shop and started spending all extra $$ on tools.

If you decide to paint this, I'd go with the color it is now! FWIW, I'd leave it just the way she is, battle scars and all! ;D
