Since it seems like there is not a good guide step by step guide out there to rebuild an old quincy air compressor, decided to drop my information off here. This is the first time doing one of these, so the information comes from many sites, and I welcome anyone's thoughts.
It started a couple years ago, when I finally found a great used sandblaster locally. it could blast in 20 seconds what my old harbor freight could do in 5 minutes. BUT.... What an air hog. I had a 5hp two stage eaton and a 3 horse single stage with about 100 gallons of storage, and from full pressure, could blast for about 13 minutes before pressure dropped too low to blast.
Started looking for an old Quincy, and finally found one on a local auction from a firehouse. Well- it is actually two compressors as it is a duplex. Two compressors, two motors sitting on top of a long horizontal tank.
Great videos -- two different posters that have great info....
