Be careful. It looks even more top heavy than many others.
Let it flip and it is not even worth the $25.00 :-)

And -- it looks as though it is currently bolted to the floor.


DoN, I have not yet picked it up. I was just now looking at the pictures
of Quincy compressors, trying to determine if this is a 340, 370, or
390 QR-25 pump.

Here are pictures of my own compressor QR-25 340 pump:

Here are pictures of Model 390 pump that I sold a while ago:

Here's the compressor that I won last week but have not picked up:

Unlike mine, this one has a double row of intercooler lines and two
tall valves (mine has one tall and one short).

But, 390 head also would probably look more massive. So, I think that
it is 60% likely a 370 head, 20% 340 and 20% model 390.

This compressor is not bolted to the floor, it is bolted to 4x4s,
which is nice.

If this is indeed a 370 pump, then it may be quieter than my 340 pump,
as it is larger and would run at a lower RPM.

Maybe I will swap it for mine. My Quincy 340 pump is eligible for
retirement and Social Security benefits, being about 63 years old.
