Air Compressor Horizontal

[Jimcgy]

Two small horizontal industrial grade air compressors located in Calgary (10 min west of Calgary, different locations)

$1500 Small industrial Quicey #325 two stage, oil pressure fed, est 80 gallon, 5hp Marathon motor 230 volt, single phase. This was my close friends compressor which I believe he bought around 1983. Home acreage use only. You will have to load.

$1500 Webster two stage, est 80 gallon. This was powered by a 7.5hp 3ph but I moved my shop in 2018 and due to limited power I never resurrected the compressor. I bought a used Tecumseh 18?hp gas engine for it but never rigged it up. The compressor was bought new by my business partner in 1972, used in his 1-2man shop.

Both compressors are about the typical footprint of an average 80gal unit, or, about that of two 60gal upright compressors side by side. You will never need another compressor!

Quincy makes great machines. Mine is a 325 made in 1932.
Are parts available for Websters?

I realize these old compressors were built like tanks. Do you ever hydro test the tanks or just hope they will be okay.

I do. I use a pressure washer with a bleed off Tee and valve. By closing the valve a bit you can dial in your pressure. The tank I use now I held at 600psi for 24 hr.

Update, anyone here interested in the 220V 5hp quincey unit, price reduced from $1500 down to $1000.

Good price, but I got mine, and a spare
