Wika is the brand of gauge on the fx. They are very good gauges. If it’s just cosmetic on the glass it’s probably good. I would stick with that kind of gauge unless you want digital. Then I personally go with the sehkmet basic 25 mm (if I remember correctly) one. The one that just reads out pressure and not all the fancy statistics. They are awesome gauges as well.
Im lookin at thatsekhmet… got a fouple replacements coming for the hang seng. Thanks for your help.
HPA is very dangerous! Professional compressors use high quality (read expensive) components. When I configured my Bauer compressor I bought a control switch from a scuba supply house in California and that switch was $175 ands I also bought an adjustable blow off valve from Australia that was $150. My pressure gauge was a 2.5" 400 bar glycerine damped gauge of comparable quality. You get what you pay for.
Hunh! The smudging on the gauge is due to my fat fingers tryin to paint mark the gauge. Looks bad, works good. After a couple trys. I flew em, dint work on em so…i keep the gun in a warming “tent” in mybarn (from where I shoot the little buggers) so dust is insidious. Plus, im gettin old, arthritic wrists, elbows n shoulders so it gets a wee bump/scratch now n then..
