The air that comes out of my 58 year old compressor is definitely
unsuitable for breathing. This compressor may not be representative,
for obvious reasons.

In any case, I would try to put at least two filters in the air line
to be on the safe side. If the air does not smell after filteriing, I
would use it. as there are many cheap sources of breathing
air, there is no sense to use anything substandard.
