I have a 30+ year old Campbell Hausfeld compressor that now has a slow air leak in the tank (lower weld seam, where water might have collected over the years). It's one of those "old fashion" belt drive, cast iron 3hp, 20 gallon tank, portable units. At the time, it was the largest capacity that could still plug into 120volt. 6.5CFM at 90PSI. Hate to get rid of it.
What does everyone think? Repair tank? (uncertain if anyone wants to repair 30 year old air tanks). Replace tank (30gal vertical tanks are available at Surplus Center for $200.) Or just upgrade to a modern oil-less design (like California Air Tools ultra quiet, not much more than above new tank).
Your thoughts? Thanks, Steve
