<DIV>I have a very similar looking machine, also about 25 years old.</DIV>
<DIV>My wife said she wanted to take me shopping for a birthday present.</DIV>
<DIV>This is highly unusual. Apparently she a noticed that I’d been </DIV>
<DIV>research compressors. Anyway I led the way to the local </DIV>
<DIV>Grainger Store. (I already knew what one I wanted). We walked
</DIV>
<DIV>in the door and I steered her over to the display model and mentioned
</DIV>
<DIV>that “this was the one”. She was shocked.....she had no idea of what
</DIV>
<DIV>to expect, in fact she said “I thought it was something about the size
</DIV>
<DIV>of a bread box”. Anyway, it’s been trouble free, and just getting
hooked </DIV>
<DIV>up again at the new house.</DIV>
<DIV>Also, the one we purchased was the prior year’s model but I wanted it
</DIV>
<DIV>because it was the last one of that size (two pistons, 50 (60?) gallon)
</DIV>
<DIV>with a CAST IRON compressor. </DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>I have a CH VT6195 that is now 25 years old, runs and looks like
new. Still has the original belt after hundreds of hours of use.

<DIV>The only repair I have had to make is the limit switch replacement about 5
years ago. </DIV>

in the market for a compressor. I’m looking for about 10 CFM at 90

I’m getting anxious, and thinking about other things to spend the price
difference on. I do like that the scroll compressor is very quiet,
though.<BR><BR>I’ve looked at four possibilities, all much cheaper than the
Eastwood:<BR><BR> Husky 60 gallon
(from Home Depot)<BR> Kobalt 60
gallon (from Lowes)<BR> Puma PK-6060
(from Amazon)<BR> Campbell Hausfeld
VT6195 (from Grizzly)<BR><BR>The Husky and Kobalt are very close in price, the
Puma and CH are a bit more.<BR><BR>The Kobalt is dual-stage, the rest are
single stage (but dual cylinder), but all meet my expected air
requirements.<BR><BR>I believe the Kobalt is made by CH, though it is not the
same as the CH model I’m looking at.<BR><BR>Any experience or comments on any
of these choices? Anything else I ought to look at in a similar
range?<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR>Darrell<BR><BR>-- <BR>Darrell Walker<BR>66 TR4A
