air compressor--who made it?

My trusty old air compressor has died a horrible death. It's the old main machine that I use for everything in the world around the house. The good news is that it is so old it is definitely repairable. The bad news is that I have idea who originally made the thing. It is approx '70s era Craftsman. They no longer support the thing, so now I'm on my own. So, I'm trying to find out who might have made the unit, and, if they're no longer in business, who a modern day successor might be. This unit is sort of unusual. It's a small, four cylinder inline compressor, driven by a true 3/4 hp motor. The pistons are small---probably about 1-1.5" bore. Seems to be a simple beast, and some of the parts might be standard; i.e. bearings, gaskets, etc. If I'm really lucky, all the stuff inside will be off the shelf items for something. Anyway, anyone out there have any idea who once made these kinds of units? i got a 1 hp. craftsman air compressor.. bought it in the early 70's.. if you look on the metal that is welded on the tank i the front if i am not mistaken then you will see the name Devilbliss... that is who made mine....what is wrong with your air compressor... i got generic parts for mine when needed... like the check valve, unloader valve. and had to use copper tubing to replace the aluminum tubing that was there before i broke it.... |
