Is the IR T-10 compressor pretty decent for light use in a home shop and

it still in production? It would see mostly general shop use - providing
air for a T&C air bearing, topping off tires, and that sort of thing.

I've finding different model numbers for IR's current offerings and
haven't
turned up much on the T-10 in web searches, other than auction listings.

It should be indeed decent for light to moderate use. If it looks like

I'm pretty sure it looks like that one. What's a fair price to pay for one
with reported low use?


I would not pay more than $200, $250 if I feel generous and in a
hurry. Used compressors can be found at decent prices. But if you
overpay and pay, say, $350, the worst thing that happened is you paid
$100 more than you could, not the end of the world.

When you do buy a compressor, make a nice compressed air system, with
an air dryer, manifolds, oilers etc, all neatly mounted, it is very useful.
