    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.

      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 😁)

    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!

    • @criomat

      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.

    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.

    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.

    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!!!"...

    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.

    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!!!
