Watch as I transform this 47 year old compressor from the 1970's into a machine that will be envied!!
In this video I will show you the process of Hydro-staticly testing an old compressor tank to make sure it's safe to use.
If it passes the test, I have an awesome paint job planned!
You'll also see how I disassemble, test, clean, and freshen up an old 5HP AJAX single phase electric motor from the 1970's!
I decided to restore the Saylor-Beall 705 compressor with the 120 gallon tank and 5HP single phase motor!
(Everyone wanting the Champion R15 restored, don't fret, I have an awesome idea for that compressor as well, but that will be another project!)
I got all the parts needed to restore this compressor from Pacific Air Compressors.
