Shoot, that things not even broken in!
Wish mine came with that pile of filters though.

Never, I don't have a need for anything near that big.
Even if I wanted to, I doubt that my electrical service could spin the motor over, let alone the motor and compressor.

I would gladly pay a 12% sales tax if I had no property taxes to pay.

Ours has turned over so add 100,000 hours to that.
But in all fairness, it has a rebuilt screw at about 58,000 hours.
The synthetic oil is excruciating high.
Some say it is higher than female giraffe anatomy

Picked up the compressors today, awkward load due to how top heavy they are. Luckily they were just PM'd and the belt drive had the belts replaced right before being taken out of service.

They have high hrs but believe they were run in continuous mode so probably not a lot of loaded hrs. Build dates are 10/09 and 9/10 so not too old.

Think I got a good deal on the pair with refrigerated dryers. Oh and I also bought a nice office chair for the shop for $10 while I was picking them up View attachment 608656View attachment 608657

I just noticed the roll back deck! I am SO jealous

That's incredible!!!! Somewhere I saw a Quincy advertisement with the motto "Buy a Quincy for life" or something like that.

I'm sure my little Quincy will outlive me. Probly my Sons. Maybe my Grandsons.

I need to add an hour meter.

Nice, the one at work was at ~64000 running hours when I replaced the control board (worked to run the compressor, but did not want communicate with anything else). IIRC, less than 40 of those hours were spent unloaded.

These were used in a print shop to blow off the rollers, they were disconnected when I picked them up but the controls were set to continuous so I'm guessing they spent a lot of time unloaded.

Nice thing is these are both the simpler setup without timers, instead of all the electronics to worry about.

I’m assuming those two units were kept inside? They look like new. Mine spent its life outside (under a roof though) and was subjected to a coat or two of paint the same color as its “surroundings”.

Oh yeah, nice clean shop with epoxied floors and drywall, worst they saw was some paper dust. I think even with the hrs they should last my lifetime with my uses.
Do you think your hr meter turned over or was it just not used much?

Yes the meter is right. The compressor ran 8-10 hours a day five days a week for 8 years. It was from a paving plant and only ran 10 months of the year.

So it has relatively hours for its age. General consensus is it should be good for 50,000 hours with routine maintenance.
