110v compressor revamp

[encantotom]

hi all,

my original junair model 600 compressor was not working good enough. it had a hard time getting up to 100psi. sometimes it would stop before 100psi and it would just get hot.

the junair model 600 is a dental compressor that if you can find one sells for $1100. it is an oil-less compressor. some of the guys have the junair model 6 oil compressor. it is the quietest one by far.

the junair model of302 is the new version of the model 600. it sells for abou $900. has a little better CFM than the model 600. so i patiently waited on ebay for several months to find a good deal on a used one. most are going for 4-500 dollars yet. i got one for $170 shipped. it was a 2002 model year, but looks like it has hardly been used. junair claims a 16,000 hour life on the OF302. it is also a dental compressor or used in medical. the of302 is a continuous duty compressor as well.

i refinished and painted the mount. i mounted it and replumbed the outlets for the compressor and hooked her up.

it works great and is quieter than the old one and has no problem getting up to 100psi.

one more thing done...
