[Spridgets] compressor thoughts

[Bud Osbourne]

Quincy makes an excellent compressor.  I've had my 5 hp, 2 stage Quincy, 
with 80 gal, vertical storage tank, for about 12 years and I've never had a 
problem.  At one point, due to the failure of a hose fitting which I was 
unaware of, the thing ran NON-STOP for a couple of days with no ill effects. 
That was about 5 years ago.  I use it to feed a blast cabinet, as well as to 
power an assortment of air tools.  It get a LOT of work-outs and has never 
caused me a moments concern.
Gee, I wonder if the fact that is was MADE IN USA has anything to do with 
it?
