Hey to all you scrapper's! I have a question that I hope somebody can help me with. I just had a new air compressor put on my old truck & had the mechanic leave me the old compressor. Does anybody have any info on what I need to look for? It's my first big foray into cracking something open & looking for goodies. The new one cost me $460 in parts so I'm praying there's something worthwhile going after. Thanks in advance.
Try finding a diagram of the compressor model online. That should tell you what's inside. Better yet, crack the damn thing open. It's more fun than sitting at a computer.
Careful, there is probably some refrigerant oil in there. Messy if it spills. I'm not sure, but I don't think the result will be worth the work....

"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your council or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams
I found a place in town paying 20 cents a lb for sealed compressors. More like the big home ac units. I hear there are stainless steel pistons and copper in there.
