[Shop-talk] Buying a new compressor of just the 'compressor'?

[Bill Gilroy]

I would get the whole unit.  I think you are in NJ, plenty of moisture in the
air.  I have heard good thing about Eaton's,

But I do not have any personal experience with them.

First, Happy T'day to all the US folk here.  For your not in the US, have
a great day as well.


On to the question...

I have a compressor that I have been using for about 20 years now (wow,
has it really been that long?)

Recently, the compressor is leaking some oil.  So I know a replacement is
coming up.  My question, is it better to replace the whole unit, or just
the compressor pump?

I was leaning to the whole unit just to avoid any issues with rusted
tanks, etc.  Also, I could sell the old one to someone who really needs
one and is willing to take the time to fix it for a low price.

So, if you were buying a new compressor, what one would you go for under
$2000?  (240v of course.)

Thanks.
