I am also renovating my 1989 compressor. It was 30 years old and it was time to give it a makeover!
Hello from France ...
I hope you bought a new Tank for it. Pressure Tanks are no joke! At least get it checked…
Wow what a talented man. Very Good. I could watch him all day 🧐
... молодец Гир!-, отличная получилась реставрация, выглядит как будто новый, дал вторую жизнь старой вещи 👍👍👍🤓🤭👏🤫🛠️⚙️🔗👌🆗🇷🇺👈🤝!!!
Ну наконец не шуруповерт👍
Splendid restoration. I have an OCD problem when watching mechanical restoration videos, but have learned that your videos never trigger it. Sweet relief... Thank you brother! Keep it up! BTW...does anyone else find it remarkable that this air compressor was made the same year mankind first walked on the moon?
What is your initial reaction to this: "Simplicity x (Precision + Top Quality Materials) = Functionally Sustainable Heirlooms" ...wow im a dork.
Thank you so much for sharing!
Though it's that super old it still seems to work like modern. Just what might be interesting is how much power it draws from the line...maybe there modern compressors are a bit ahead (cheaper power bills 😁)

Beautiful air compressor very well built !
日本の製品を大切に使って壊れたらまた治して使ってくれていることに感謝します。
日本の製品は品質で作られているので、とても気に入っています。
This is just wonderfully restored I have no complaints, the color is amazing the creativity is brilliant and the video it self is just great in on it self.
The color is beautiful! I appreciate the restoration, some modern touches but nothing extravagant.
You're welcome, I'm glad you like this color.

Nice work but paint got lot of bubbles
Wonderful! Greetings from Argentina!
You do a great job, thanks for share, Also, using paint striper to remove 50 old dirt in kitchen sink is the fast way to get divorced 🤣
Sem palavras que trabalho maravilhoso!!!!
That's beautiful. Love the addition of auto cut off as well. More safe = more better.
Definitely!
Hey, Thanks! Nice work. Turned out splendid! I learned a couple tricks watching, as well.
Since that Pressure Tank is 50 years old, It should be tested Hydrostatically at 1.5 times working pressure.
If it is rated at 100 psi, then test it full of water at 150 psi. You may need a special pump to do this but do it in a clear area in case it explodes. It may have had moisture in it for years and corroding at welds etc.
9 kpa/cm2 is about 135 PSIG. Stay clear!
I agree, that's an old tank and need to be tested
I thought the same
I blew a tractor tire near me once, i was lucky that the blow made it fly away from me, but i couldn't hear straight for two hours after that. I was lucky that day. Air pressure is no joke, i fear these systems more than gas.
@Gord Baker Yes, you are right, I do appreciate you sharing this information.
Ухко
You are an artist, something amazing, a very good job. I'm from Iraq
Hi Gear Show 👋👋👋 awesome restoration air compressor 👍👍👍💣🔥👌🏽✌🏻🇷🇺
Amazing cant describe this!
I like the rotating Jar with sand in it. Very clever.
Thank you so much!
Great restoration - another vintage machine saved from the Furnace. 👍👍👍
Many thanks!
Самый лучший канал про реставрацию на youtube! 👍👍👍
Thank you so much :)
Another master class!! Thx for share!! Good work! 👍
beautiful job.....love that paint will have to find some in NZ
Una belleza...gracias por mostrar...estoy aprendiendo
once again it turned out great. Especially the hammer-effect paint looks great.
Thank you so much 😀
@@gear_show no problem.
Superb engineering / restoration works - skilled as ever, a job well done 👏🏻
Thank you very much!
As others mentioned, be careful of a rusted tank. Even if you don't want it tested, at least inspect the inside of the tank for severe rust. A cheap borescope camera dropped down one of the connection holes works well. The worst rust will obviously be along the bottom of the tank where the condensate sits. I just fired up an old compressor that was sitting for a few years only to find pin holes at the bottom of the tank. Looking inside showed severe rust along the bottom, the rest of the tank inside was still shiny silver bare steel. That went to the curb for scrap.
Thank you so much for the feedback!
True.
Pressure needs to be tested carefully
Excelente restauración mi estimado hermoso compresor...saludos desde Perú
I might be 4-month's late in watching this amazing restoration: which I actually found whilst peeping elsewhere. Regardless, and though at the moment, for reasons I won't go in to, I find I have available time to watch your video collection from the beginning. After which I might even start my own private collection...
Good luck, and thanks for the ideas.
Incredibly satisfying
I'm glad you like it.
I must say, this has been one of your best restorations to date.
so brilliant!
Respect From Palestine 🇵🇸🌸
You Are The Best 😘
Thank you so much!
thank you for this wonderful video
Glad you enjoyed it!
Lovely Restoration.As some friends have suggested take care to pressure test the tank in future restorations
Yes, you are right
Hoje lembrei de você. Consertei uma antiga parafusadeira Bosch a bateria.
I'm excited!
Great job! I love it 👍
Good job bud!
That Sanblaster must be huge to fit the whole tank
Excellent job & nice color.Master!!!!
You are a truly professional craftsman. As a red seal journeyman plumber and gasfitter in canada i am perplexed to know what trade you do and where you do it. Ive always wanted to restore things like this. I do it with old faucets and heating equipment
Very nice job. Great looking compressor!
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice job, very effective.
Im amazed about the state of the tank after all that time. Apart from peeling off paint, rust and dirt, its in good shape.
Yes, it is.
Respect from Russia. Amaizing videos!
Thank you! I'm glad this video popup in Russia.

Ah first time I saw your face is in this video. Reflection on sandblasting machine... All your work is great man
You are a genius!
Excellent work👍👍👍. Thanks for sharing
You're welcome! Thank you!
There's nothing better in this world than that moment when you are hand sanding a restored tool prior to paint, and you tell yourself constantly, every 30 seconds: "Do it fast. You're taking too long. Dont be a paint in the But. It doesn't have to be perfect!!!"...
very good job
Que fenómeno, felicitaciones, desde Argentina
Muchas gracias, me alegro de este video emergente en Argentina
Good video you are such a craftsman.
admiration for this

As a red seal journeyman plumber gasfitter in canada i am amazed by these videos. Wondering what trade you have to be such a pro craftsman. Love these videos!

Splendid restoration, good work!!!!!!!!!
Thank you very much!
Loved it.
I'm glad you love it.
Excellent restoration!
Many thanks!
Perfect
Very nice job👍
Thanks 👍
Superior Japanese quality. And of course excellent restoration. I would suggest repainting the "Iwata - Minicom" lettering on the side of the air tank. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the tips!
Nice work, the only thing i would do differently is hydro testing the tank before the restoration process, mainly because of how old it is, there might be some heavy corrosion at the bottom, which make it dangerous to operate or even fail and explode if unlucky.
Excellent work. Very well done Sir! Greetings from Southport UK.
Many thanks!
Iwata great restore! Nice!
Yes it was!
What is the orange stick you are filling the threaded holes with? Looks like it works better than tape!
Carrot.
Show de bola !
Dressed like an officer,does the "dirty job".....still remains clean 👍👍👍👏👏👏
😁😂
Very nice work
Thanks a lot
Great work ! it is a beautiful air compresor and another masterful restoration. Btw, I recomend checking the starting capacitor, it's degradation can lead to excessive pump vibrations.
Thanks for the tip! I will check it out.
I would like to add a layer of varnish to the motor winding. Nice restoration
Cool working
Thanks
Very good 👍
Thank you 👍
Wow, great work
Thanks a lot!
Nice job!
big JOB, ate.
Great Job Stay Safe !!!.
That’s pretty smart shit using a container full of sand to sand every thing down by spinning the container
Thank you so much, but it take much time.
@@gear_show how much time did it took?
Very good job man
Thank you so much 😀
Really great!!
Many thanks!
Bom trabalho!! 👏👏
Thank you!
Well done .
amazing brother!
Appreciate it!
Buen trabajo de restauración. Pero como ya te han dicho, revisa el tanque de aire. Y lo otro, pule las piezas de bronce. El tubo de cobre lo hubiera dejado en el color original y le hubiese aplicado un barniz transparente así como a la válvula de seguridad en bronce, el das un toque industrial y ecléctico. Y las ruedas le hubiese puesto unas de goma, así amortiguas la vibración y el ruido. Por lo demás, buen trabajo!!!
Bien, ¡muchas gracias por los comentarios y consejos!
Здорово получилось.НО,не хватает воздушного фильтра.
Very awesome restoration & very nice colour chose 👌🏻👌🏻
Thanks a lot 😊
Great Job!
