Remember me ? I am the guy with the Sears "airless" compressor who a
month ago asked about air compressors because my wife was going to buy me
one for Valentines day. I want to say THANK YOU to all the replies, I am
sorry I didn't get to personally reply to some of you but I will. On
Monday after I sent the message my boss called me into his office, closed
the door and informed that "so-and-so" was not working out and his project
was 2 weeks behind schedule. He was aware that my piece of the project was
in the critical path and needed to be completed so others could do their
part, but I needed to buckle down and not fall behind on my work and "oh by
the way, so-and-so is 2 weeks behind and you need to finish his project for
him" .
Well that was the end of my life for a few weeks but now I have a comp
time vacation that I am taking very soon and I really need a compressor, so
here I go again. Does anyone on this list have a compressor by these
people http://www.industrialgold.com/ ? specifically their 5hp but any
will do. It was recommended by someone on this list who does not have
their compressor and I have spoken with them, they appear to be a small
shop and I am concerned about parts in the future as well as reliability
now. I am not against a small 4 or 5 employee shop but if they go under
where do I find parts ? I suppose it is the same problem with the Champion
compressor that TIP sells, TIP might be around but will Champion ? The
industrial gold compressors do sound like a better unit, at least the
salesman (who happened to be the owner) claimed they were better :) It is
also $200 less than TIP for the same basic specs but the industrialgold
also has auto-drain, mag starter and runs at a lower RPM which is supposed
to be quieter.

Tip does not have the champion their website, only the Curtis, does
anyone have the Champion or Curtis ?
