I've seen lots of posts about air compressors on this ng so here goes. I've
picked up an old Ingersoll Rand Model B air compressor. It is a twin
cylinder with a GE repulsion-induction dual voltage 3/4 hp motor. I believe
I'm going to be able to get the motor working. It was running (motor) but
not well. Also pumping a little air. I took it apart and it was so full of
crud that some of the brushes were barely contacting the commutator. Big
problem is the compressor unit. It offers very little resistance when
turning by hand so it may need an overhaul. I spent quite a bit of time on
Google and can't seem to find any sites dealing with parts for old models. I
can't even find it listed anywhere. Anyone know of any good places for
parts for these thinks? Thanks.
