I already own an alkin w31. Im op on this thread and its pic is in the 1st post of this thread. Trying to convince some local friends to buy the smoking deal

Anybody know the specs on this compressor for sale? I am in the same boat and really don't need another compressor. I was shopping for a w31 and ended buying a Bauer and I'm pretty sure the Bauer will last just as long as the w31 and will out last what I will be throwing at it.

No question, your Bauer will do everything you want. It’s not meant to run a paintball field operation but you will never regret buying it.

Yep somebody needs to jump on that deal. That is a sweet price. Somebody please hurry up and buy it before I drive down from GA and pick up a second alkin.

 

[Skydivingmiami]

Second? Ha!! I don't need a 2nd one either but it's tempting

I'm thinking you could alternate between each one and double lifespan? It's my excuse for a second one anyway, lol.
All jokes aside, I really hope someone that's been on the fence about buying an alkin grabs it up.

Jesus, the W31 listing on the Classifieds has been renewed with the price lowered further. I'm to the point now where I'm seriously thinking about asking one of you good hearted FL members to pick it up and coordinate shipping it to me!

Somebody buy that thing already!!!

 

[Skydivingmiami]

The one listed is 220v too.. the best kind.

 

[Heavyopp]

$60 airline ticket to west palm beach, $300 car rental for a week and drop it off in NJ. 17+ hour drive.

Certainly possible.

 

[Smok3y]

Somebody bought that one in the classifieds and saved me a trip to FL this week. Looks like an Alkin won’t be in my future.

 

[Skydivingmiami]

I just saw it got sold. I wonder who purchased it

 

[Skydivingmiami]

Any one know who got that steal in palm beach?

 

[standles]

So barring a smoking classified deal are there every any sales on these things? I wondering if it is price controlled like scuba pro in the old days when I dove alot.

Hello all. To those that have this compressor, what is the run time/cycle on this compressor? For example the yong heng says to not run it for more that 20 minutes or so at a time. Thanks in advance.

You can run this compressor as long as you want. It doesn't have a "run time/cycle" like its smaller, less expensive counterparts. If you had ten 88 cu. ft. tanks, you could fill them all back-to-back without missing a beat.

Additionally, I can't remember where I read it, but I think the unit has a "maximum" run time of 10 hours.

Seem to remember seeing that as well, but like you I can't recall the source .

Did not find mention of a maximum run time in the owner's manual that came with mine.

One of the maintenance schedules in the manual does mention that it's based on 8 hours per day run time.

I saw that in mine also. But I think for us average airgunners, we will never come close to that type of run time.

 

[wolfmangreg]

Agree, only wish I could shoot that much!

Planning on changing the oil & purifier annually. Maybe the air intake filter too, depending on how it looks.
