    i bought a used industrial compressor about
    10 years ago and i am pleased with it. it
    was run continously for 30 years before i
    bought it. the owner needed more air. i
    called the factory -- they still make replacement
    parts. mine was made in 1967. cast iron.
    reputible brand (quincey). i would probably
    go that route again ... ray harder

I understand the oil-free compressors are loud as hell, so I know I want the "oiler" type. I've looked on several web sites and it's amazing the number of different configurations that are out there.
