Who Still Has a Kidde Compressor from Shelden Sporting Goods?

[Rob_in_NC]

Been running mine for 9 years here, no issues. Despite that amount of time, I dont have a ton of hours on it. Last time I called Jim to ask about when to change oil, I wasnt even close the hours he recommended.

Wondering how long yall have ran yours and if it's still going strong? Cant help but to think what I'll do when it does die. The small compressors that require work doesnt appeal to me so looks like I'll be looking at Alkin or similar. Maybe by time it does die, there will be cheaper reliable options.

Got mine from Jim as well, and he is a thoroughly good guy. And great machines. Mine has been living in a stripping room attached to a tobaccco barn and has never had the oil changed. we had a lot of snow andice storms this year and I was concerned that an embarrasing call would be needed to bail me out. But I plugged it in and it cranked right up. Filled a scuba tank with it.
